Sun's gone down
People milling, moving all around
Swept along, your heart begins to pound
There's excitement in the air tonight
But you don't quite belong--it's all wrong

You've been hungry howling at the moon
Hungry howling at the moon
Life is over much too soon
Don't you want to taste the good times

Hometown girl
Downtown neon sets your head a-whirl
Run together, colors in a swirl
You're just aching to join the fun and play
Dance your workday cares away, take a holiday

You've been hungry howling at the moon
Hungry howling at the moon
You've been hungry howling at the moon
Hungry howling at the moon

Heading home
You feel empty, lost and all alone
It's a hard road you're walking all alone
But the good times are well worth waiting for
If you just hold tight, it'll be all right

You've been hungry howling at the moon
Hungry howling at the moon
You've been hungry howling at the moon
Hungry howling at the moon
