I like to spend my days in the night time Street lamps and moonlight give me life Staying in the bar way past midnight When I should be home with you Well, I just don't know why I like to spend my days in the night time Maybe it's the way that the record turns Maybe it's the way that the whiskey burns Standing on a stage in a smoke filled room As the crowd just seems to groove Well, I have my reasons why I like to spend my days in the night time I like to spend my days in the night time Street lamps and moonlight give me life Staying in the bar way past midnight When I should be home with you Well, I just don't know why I like to spend my days in the night time Maybe it's the way that she wears her hair Maybe it's the fact that you just don't care Maybe it's the smell of her perfume The way she smiles when I play my tunes Well, I have my reasons why I like to spend my days in the night time I like to spend my days in the night time Street lamps and moonlight give me life Staying in the bar way past midnight When I should be home with you Well, I just don't know why I like to spend my days in the night time I like to spend my days in the night time
