  • You're walking up with your eyes on me
    It's looking good but I just don't know
    I need a girl who can keep her head
    All night long
    You didn't come just to see the show
    I guess you know what you want to see
    The way you smile lets me know I can't go wrong

    I want to touch you
    Wanna feel you
    I want to make you mine

    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)
    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)

    I saw you standing down by the stage
    Your black stockings and your see through dress
    Your mouth is open but I don't want to hear ya
    Say good night

    You're sorta young but you're over age
    I don't care 'cause I like your style
    Don't know about your brain but you look alright

    I want to touch you
    Wanna feel you
    I want to make you mine

    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)
    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)

    Your mind is dirty but your hands are clean
    You're short of class but your legs are long
    I know I can't stand another night on my own
    Hey girl, would you like some wine?
    What's your name? Are you by yourself?
    Are you the one? What your sign?
    Can I take you home?

    I want to touch you
    Wanna feel you
    Wanna make you mine

    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)
    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)

    I want to love you (all night long)
    I want to be with you (all night long)
    I want to love you (all night long) Writer/s: Richard Blackmore, Roger Glover

  • Glenn from TexasThe riff for “All Night Long” is catchy and the musicians are all obviously virtuosos, but the lyrics to this song are the worse ever. They don’t even come close to even rhyming. And Graham’s live singing was incredibly bad. It made you realize how many takes it must have taken in studio to just make it presentable. I didn’t see this particular lineup live, but I can only imagine how comical it would have been to watch Mr Bonnett trying to sing other Rainbow songs like “Stargazer” or “Gates Of Babylon”. A match made in hell.
  • Carole from Scotlandbonnet, blackmore, glover, powell & airy!!!! will never hear sounds like that again!!! pure class, blood, sweat, tears!!!!! live on cosy
  • Steve from Chesterfield Miupdate - Her name is Sylvia Bell from England. She was a contestant for Miss Great Brittan pageants around the time this video was shot.

  • Steve from Chesterfield MiMike, i've always wondered that as well. i think she looks like michelle pfeiffer, she was 21 when that song came out........possible? didnt see anything on imdb though.
  • Don from Sevierville, TnJoe Walsh (Eagles, James Gang) also recorded a different song with this same title. So did some country stars circa 2000/01 (but I don't remember their names - it was 2 to 4 guys).
  • Mike from Portage, MiDoes anyone know who the woman is in this classic video?
  • Robert from Atlanta, GaDown to Earth is also the title of Ozzy Osbourne's 2001 album.
  • Neil from London, --At the Monsters Of Rock festival singer Graham Bonnet substituted the line "I need a girl who can keep her head all night long" with; "I need a girl who can GIVE ME HEAD all night long"
    Who said they weren't a sexist band.
