Lyrics:

performed by Rick Springfield)

Chorus:
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city, keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want

Bop 'til you drop in the hot city, burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

You wake up wired and draw on your makeup
And the city breathes and the city jumps to life
Lately it seems your time is all used up
Chasing dreams of money and the good life

But there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings, you gotta get up, you gotta get up

chorus

Bop 'til you drop 'til you sit pretty, burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

People say you're the lucky one, but you don't believe it
And you want to stop and you want to take some time
To sus' out a feeling and look for a reason
And the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing

'Cause there is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings, you gotta get up, you gotta get up

chorus

Bop 'til you drop 'til you sit pretty, burn the candle, burn it bright
Love won't, love won't wait

(Solo)

There is something you've been thinking of
Lately you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings, you gotta get up, you gotta get up

Bop 'til you drop in the hot city, keep on working day and night

chorus

Bop 'til you drop and you sit pretty, burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will, love will have to wait

chorus

Bop 'til you drop and you sit pretty, burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait

Bop 'til you drop
