[Verse 1]
She opens up the door to her closet
And lets her hand run through the deep end of the rail
It stops at the velvety touch of an old dress
And the memory of the sea she used to sail

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out

[Verse 2]
She throws the dress on over her shoulders
The old zipper cuffs its way up along her spine
She pads a rose berry red on the apples of her cheeks
And the mirror sends her back a stranger's smile

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out

[Chorus]
There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
So come on, girl, let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
And open up your door
(It's time, baby, it's time, open up your door)
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out
[Verse 3]
She hovers at the top of the staircase
The thought of word awaits cuts like a knife
And then she hurls herself forwards, towards the front door
You would think she was running for her life

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time

[Verse 4]
She freezes with her hand on the handle
As the voice awakes behind her on the couch
She takes a step back into the doorway and in the light of the TV
She lets him look her up and down

[Chorus]
There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it, it's time to take it)
So come on, girl, let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
(Baby, it's time, baby, it's time)
(Open up your door)
[Bridge]
"You poor girl", he said (Your poor girl)
To think that anyone is gonna look your way
"You're a lucky girl", he said (You're a lucky girl)
That you got me and that I've stayed

[Chorus]
There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it, it's time to take it)
So come on, girl, let down your hair like you don't care
(Come on, girl, let down your hair)
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
There's a world out there (A world out there)
And I believe a piece of it is yours
(Baby, it's time to take it, it's time to take it)
So come on, girl, let down your hair
(Baby, it's time for a night out)
And open up your door
(Baby, it's time, baby, it's time)
(Open up your door)
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out
Baby, it's time, baby, it's time for a night out
