Afternoon Delight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight

My motto's always been "when it's right, it's right"
Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night?


[Bridge]
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Thinking of you's working up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight

Rubbing sticks and stones together, make the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting

[Chorus]
Skyrockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight


[Verse 2]
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite
But you got some bait awaiting and I think I might
Like nibbling a little afternoon delight
[Chorus]
Skyrockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight


[Bridge]
Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We can make a lot of loving 'fore the sun gone down

[Pre-Chorus]
Thinking of you's working up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbing sticks and stones together, make the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting

[Chorus]
Skyrockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
