You know the night time, darling,

With the one you love, now.

Say, now, oh, baby,

When I come home, baby, now,
(Night and day.)
I wanna be with the one I love, now.
(Night and day.)
You know what I'm thinking of,
(Night and day.)
I know the night time,
(Night and day, oh.)
Whoa, is the right time,

To be wit'th' one you love, now.
(Night and day.)
I said to be with the one you love.
(Night and day.)
You know my mother, now,

Had to die, now.
(Night and day.)
Umm, and my father,
(Night and day.)
Left a po' chil' to cry.
(Night and day.)
And-a-whoah! Whoah, baby, now,

I want you to hold my hand,
(Night and day.)
Yeah, tight as you can.
(Night and day.)
I know the night time,
(Night and day, oh.)
Whoah, is the right time,

To be wit'th' one you love, now.
