NIGHTTIME AND MY BABY (Norro Wilson - Carmol Taylor - Joe Stampley) « © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI » Well I work like a dog eight hours a day you know I'm nearly dead When I stop by a bar on my way home and loosen up my head Lord knows this is a hard life sometimes it'll drive a man crazy And there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby Well I'd love to ride all over town in a brand new Cadillac But on the money that I'm makin' it'll never be like that But money don't buy everything Like tender love that I always got at home just a waitin' And the only pleasure in this life for me is the nighttime and my baby When I get home she's always got good lovin' saved up for me Her warm sweet lips will make me forget all of my misery With her arms wrapped around me all through the long long night I wake up in the morning feeling right mighty right Start back to that old job again with the boss standin' over me Sayin' hurry up you gotta do your work that's the way it's gonna be Ten hours just keep on draggin' Lord don't you know that this life of mine ain't easy But I wanna thank you for sendin' me the nighttime and my baby Yeah I wanna thank you very much for sendin' me the nighttime and my baby Oh I don't know bout makin' a nap if it wadn't for the nighttime and my baby I believe I'd lose my mind if I didn't have the nighttime and my baby
