Well I get the thrill run down my spine
When I see you hitting me up
Feeling so electrified
Like the heat of a million suns
You know just one touch can keep me high
And I think I’ll never come down
‘Til a couple days go by
And you’re nowhere to be found
Up all night
Up all night
All the things that you said to me yesterday
Playing over in my mind
It’s a crime
It’s a crime
How you’re reeling me in with the games you play
Then you hang me out to dry
So I try to shake you out my head
Try to dance with somebody new
But you got those lips so red
And that smokey voice, you do
So I know it’s pointless anyway
Cause there ain’t nobody else
That could light me up so bright
And break this crazy spell
Up all night
Up all night
All the things that you said to me yesterday
Playing over in my mind
It’s a crime
It’s a crime
How you’re reeling me in with the games you play
Then you hang me out to dry
If I wait a little longer
Then maybe you’ll come back around
Wait a little longer
Then maybe you’ll be ready now
Cause I would wait forever
For you to fall back into my arms
So come on
Up all night
Up all night
All the things that you said to me yesterday
Playing over in my mind
It’s a crime
It’s a crime
How you’re reeling me in with the games you play
Then you hang me out to dry
Up all night
Up all night
All the things that you said to me yesterday
Playing over in my mind
It’s a crime
It’s a crime
How you’re reeling me in with the games you play
Then you hang me out to dry
How you’re reeling me in with the games you play
Then you hang me out to dry
Late-Night Longing and Emotional Games
“Up All Night” by Charlie Puth captures the electrifying highs and frustrating lows of infatuation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of sleepless nights spent replaying words and moments, as the protagonist wrestles with the emotional games of a captivating love interest. The recurring phrase “up all night” reflects a restless obsession, where the thrill of romance is matched only by the anguish of uncertainty. Puth’s evocative imagery, such as “the heat of a million suns,” heightens the intensity of attraction, while the repeated references to being “hung out to dry” reveal the pain of emotional vulnerability. Ultimately, the song explores the bittersweet tension between desire and heartache, making it relatable for anyone caught in the throes of love’s unpredictable game.
