I've got appointments, work I have to do
keeping me so busy all the day through
they're the things that keep me from thinking of you
(ah baby, I miss you so
I know I'm never gonna make it)

Oh I'm so restless I don't care what I say
and I lose my temper ten times a day
still it's even worse when night's on his way
it's bad, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing all right if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight, if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)
somehow I'd be doing all right if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
(ah baby, I feel so bad
I know I'm never gonna make it)

I've got my business to help me through the day
people I must write to, bills I must pay
but everything's so different when night's on its way
it's bad, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing all right if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight, if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
sitting here alone and staring at the wall

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(even I could see a light, I think that I could make it)
guess my future would look bright if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
if it wasn't for the nights
(if it wasn't for the nights I think that I could make it)
