Lyrics
You sell yourself
For others pleasure
In exchange for gold
You give them treasure
The price so great
There is no measure
Person of the night
You make love to millions
Every day
They take your warmth
But they never stay
But we all survive
In our own special way
Person of the night
Perform for the masses
Collect your dough
Act for the people
They love the show
But all of the while
Searching for what's right
You're a person
Person of the night
And every day
It's all the same
You sell yourself
And you play the game
And you wonder why
You feel no shame
You're a person of the night
But it's all right
