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
