Give me just another night 
Just another night with you
Give me just another kiss
Just before the dawn breaks through 

'Cause I'm homesick 
Feel a little down and blue 
And I'm hurting 
Hurting baby just like you 

I was lonely till I saw you at the station
And I never thought 
You'd keep our rendezvous 
Baby it's true

Give me just another night 
Just another night with you 
Give me just another kiss
Just before the dawn breaks through 

'Cause I'm hungry 
Hungry for you loving baby 
And I'm thirsty 
Thirsty for your loving baby 

And a one day pass to heaven is so hard to find
And a one night pass 
Ain't really what I had in mind

I need your sweet tenderness 
I need your soft caress
I know the day is coming 
Don't take away your loving 
Can't you see that I'm human 

Just because you've seen my face 
Just because you know my name
I'm a stranger in this town 
Can't I have my ups and downs 
Can't you see that I'm human 

I get hungry, get thirsty
I get moody 
I need attention 
I need your love
I need your love
I want your love

Give me just another night 
Just another night with you 
'Cause I'm freezing in this
Hundred dollar hotel room
Don't make me leave you 
No don't you be so cruel
