[Verse 1]
Cruising makes some people get uptight
Nothing beats a lonely Friday night
Friday night, nothing much to do but hang around
Think I might just grab myself a cab and head downtown
And for hours I hang around the dance hall crowd
I feel like a boor
And then I turned around and cast my eyes to the door

[Chorus 1]
In a long flowing robe
She appeared at the ballroom door
I was hard-pressed to know
What I hoped she was looking for

[Verse 2]
Coming on at first may not seem right
Nothing beats a lover at first sight
What a sight, nothing can compare with simple grace
It's all right, I see it in the look upon her face
That she wants me the same way that I'm wanting her
In fact maybe more
But as I take her hand, she turns and heads for the door

[Chorus 2]
In a long flowing robe
She took off through the ballroom door
I was hard-pressed to know
What did she go and do that for
[Verse 3]
Friday night, nothing left to do but go to bed
Sleeping tight, when something stirring deep inside my head
Said "wake up and cast your eyes to the door."

[Chorus 1]
In a long flowing robe
She appeared at the bedroom door
I was hard-pressed to know
What I knew she was looking for

In a long flowing robe
She appeared at the bedroom door
I was hard-pressed to know
What I knew she was looking for
