I got appointments
work I have to do
keepin me so busy
all the day through
theyre the things that keep me
from thinkin of you
oh baby, I miss you so
I know Im never gonna make it
oh, Im so restless
I dont care what I say
and I lose my temper
ten times a day
still its even worse when
the nights on its way
its bad
oh, so bad

Somehow Id be doin alright
if it wasnt for the nights
Id have courage left to fight
if it wasnt for the nights
how I fear the time
when shadows start to fall
sittin here alone
and starin at the wall
even I could see a light
if it wasnt for the nights
somehow Id be doin alright
if it wasnt for the nights

No one to turn to
you know how it is
I was not prepared for
something like this
now I see them clearly
the things that I miss
oh baby, I feel so bad
I know Im never gonna make it
I got my business
to help me through the day
people I must write to
bills I must pay
but everythings so different
when nights on its way
its bad
oh, so bad

Somehow Id be doin alright
if it wasnt for the nights
Id have courage left to fight
if it wasnt for the nights
how I fear the time
when shadows start to fall
sittin here alone
and starin at the wall
even I could see a light
if it wasnt for the nights
guess my future would look bright
if it wasnt for the nights
