Well, my heart was breaking 'til you started making me
Feel like a natural man
My mind was mess until you brought happiness
Well, that's not hard to understand
When I'm through working, just fussing and cussing
I'll be there just as quick as I can

Here comes the night
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, love me (oh-oh)
Ooh (here come, here come)
(Here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
(Ooh)

I know livin' is takin' and givin'
Baby, I'm givin' you my best
One of these days, you know, I'm gonna go crazy
In the middle of your caress
When the day goes down, honey, I'll be around
Why don't you wear your pretty red dress?

Here comes the night
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, love me (oh-oh)
Ooh (here come, here come)
(Here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
(Ooh)

Every morning, our love is reborn
And it lives with me all day long
When things start a-changin', takes a little rearrangin'
But our love grows on and on
Stars that shine above are makin' you mine to love
It's never ever felt so strong

Here comes the night
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, squeeze me (oh-oh)
Don't ever leave me (here come, here come)
Tell me I'm doing alright (here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
Hold me, love me (oh-oh)
Ooh (here come, here come)
(Here now, here comes the night)
(Oh, here comes the night)
