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 



[Chorus:] 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 



[Chorus]



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 



[Chorus]



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 



[Chorus]
