I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my loving in the evening time when I'm With my baby It's no fun with the sun around But I get going when the sun goes down And I meet my baby That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss and then we kiss some more Don't ask me how many times we kiss at a time like this Who keeps score So I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my loving in the evening time When I'm with my baby That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss and then we kiss some more Don't ask me how many times we kiss at a time like this Who keeps score So I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my loving in the evening time When I'm with my baby
