The Four Seasons, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

About The Night

"The Night" is a song by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons that was originally released in 1972. Although it failed to chart when first released, it became a popular track on the northern soul circuit, which led to a successful UK re-release in the spring of 1975, when it reached no. 7 on the Official Chart. The song sees Frankie Valli pleading with a girl that he admires to resist the advances of another guy. Valli cited this song as an example of a song that should have been a big hit on first release, but didn't chart due to poor promotion by the MoWest label. The song was covered by Lene Lovich in 1979, by Intastella in 1995, by Soft Cell in 2002 (originally replaced by Tainted Love as their cover number in 1981) and Klaxons in 2007. The song is considered a "Northern Soul" classic due to its heavy bass production and strong beat.

Beware of his promise
Believe what I say
Before the night is ending 
Be sure of what you're saying 

Cause he paints a pretty picture 
And he tells you that he loves you 
And he covers you with roses 
And he always keeps you dreaming
If he always keeps you dreaming 
You won't have a lonely hour 
If the day could last forever 
You might like your ivory tower 

But the night begins to turn your head around 
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found 
Oh yeah the night begins to turn your head around 

Beware of his promise
Believe what I say 
Before I go forever 
Be sure of what you're saying 

Cause the words might come too quickly 
If you really think I'm leaving 
And goodbye might come too easy 
If you really think he loves you 
If you really think he loves you 
You would give yourself completely 
If the day could last forever 
You would give yourself completely 

But the night begins to turn your head around 
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found 
Oh yeah the night begins to turn your head around 

(????)
And the night begins to turn your head around 
Oh yeah you know you're gonna lose more than you found 
Ma ma ma ma oh the night begins to turn your head around 
Yeah yeah yeah yeah and you know you're gonna lose more than you found, oh
