Midnight it's raining outside, yeah

He must be soaking wet

Everyone is sleeping tight

God knows I tried my best



But darling you know it looks bad

Just lost the best thing that I ever had

Well, still I don't know why I did him wrong, yeah

It's too late now he's gone to say



Said baby oh no, can't leave me now

Said to think about it please

'Cause I love you and I need you



And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah

Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it

Before I did you wrong



Heartache, heartache, yeah

When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down

Cheating when he was working hard

I just had to mess around



I knew from the start he ain't got much money

I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey

He's a good strong man and I,I love him so

So how on earth can I let him go



Said baby oh no, can't leave me now

Said to think about it please

'Cause I love you and I need you



And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah

Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it

Before I did you wrong



And now it's midnight it's raining outside, yeah

And I'm soaking wet

Still looking for that man of mine

And I ain't found him yet



Well all of this rain can wash away my tears

But nothing can replace all of those wasted years

In all of this I tell you I have learnt playing with fire gets you burnt

And I'm still burning



Said baby oh no, can't leave me now

Said to think about it please

'Cause I love you and I need you



And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah

Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it

Before I did you wrong



You say you'll lose your pride

Well don't you know dear, don't you know

I'll lose so much more if you go now

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no



Don't you know?
