1. I 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
   Ohhh 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 the night's on its way
   It's bad, oh, so bad

R: Somehow I'd be doing alright 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 alright if it wasn't for the nights
   (If it wasn't for the nights I think that I could take it)
   
2. 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
   Ohhh baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it
   I 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, oh, so bad

R: Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights...

3. 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)
   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)
