All Through The Night

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 been done
They do it, oh, baby, all through the night
The city's funny and the country's wide
But i wanna know why they don't have a right
Don't they do it, oh, baby, all through the night
Oh, mama, oh, mama, tell me 'bout it
All through the night
I wanna have it all through the night
Christmas comes only once a year
Why can't anybody shed just one tear
For things that don't happen all through the night
Oh, mama, all through the night
Oh, baby, do it to me all through the night
Easy, easy, baby, why don't you give it to me
All through the night
