I've been up and down, I've been all around I was mystified, almost terrified But late at night I still hear you call my name
I've been on my own, I've been all alone I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed But late at night I still want you just the same
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool And I sure know something, sure know something You showed me things they never taught me in school And I sure know something, sure know something No one can make me feel the way that you do And I sure know something, aha
I was seventeen, you were just a dream I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain
I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt I've been starry eyed, never satisfied 'Cause late at night I still need you just the same Just the same
