In the evening
When the day is done
I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come
So don't let her, play you for a fool
She don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules

* Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have

So don't you let her
Oh, get under your skin
It's only bad luck and trouble
From the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness
Don't ask nobody's help
Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby
Cause you can only blame yourself

(* Repeat)

Oh it's simple
All the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, fortune
Cause that's all that's left to you

It's lonely at the bottom
Man, it's dizzy at the top
But if you're standing in the middle
Ain't no way you're gonna stop

(* Repeat)

Oh whatever that your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner
Cause that won't change a thing
If you're dancing in the doldrums
One day soon
It's got to stop, it's got to stop
When you're the master of the off-chance
When you don't expect a lot

(* Repeat)
