You feel so lonely, when it's in the afternoon

and you gotta face it, all through the night

Don't it make you believe

that something's gonna have to happen soon

oh, baby, all through the night



All through the night

oh, baby, all through the night

All through the night

all through the night



Have you ever played with an all-night band

and got trough it, baby, all through the night

With a daytime of sin and a night time of hell

everybody's gonna look for a bell to ring

all through the night

And they do it, all through the night, baby

all through the night

When the words pour down and the poetry comes

and the novel's written and the book is done

you say, oh, Lord, lover, baby, give it to me

all through the night

And she says it



Best friend Sally, she got sick

and I'm feeling mighty ill, myself

it happens all the time, and all through the night

I went to Saint Vincent's

and I'm watching the ceiling fall down on her body

as she's lying round on the ground

said, oh, babe got to celebrate all through the night

Made me feel so sad, I cried all through the night

I said, oh, Jesus, all through the night

If the sinner's in and the good man's gone

then a woman can't come and help him home

then what're gonna do about it

When they go on all through the night



All they sing, oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, baby

all through the night

and he says, give it to me all through the night

It ain't so much when a man's gotta cry

to get a little loving and some peace of mind

said, hey, baby give it to me all through the night



Some people wait for things that never come

and some people dream of things they've never
