This Night
7.16 - Black Lab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are things
I have done
There's a place
I have gone
There's a beast
And I let it run
Now it's running
My way

There are things
I regret
To can't forgive
You can't forget
There's a gift
That you sent
You sent it
My way

So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace

There's a game
That I play
There are rules
I had to break
There's mistakes
That I made
But I made them
My way

So take this night
Wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
But I need a place to sleep
So take this night
And lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace





Some peace
Some peace

Overall Meaning

In Black Lab's "This Night," the lyrics express a sense of heartbreak and betrayal over a lover's unfaithfulness. The singer expresses frustration at not having been told the truth about their partner's other lover, questioning why they were treated poorly despite their feelings for the other person. The singer acknowledges their tears and their love for their partner, though they wish it could all have ended differently. Finally, the chorus expresses a desire for raindrops to fall on their face, perhaps as a metaphor for crying or letting out their emotions.


The song's emotional depth and catchy melody have made it a favorite among Black Lab fans for over two decades. It was originally released on their 1997 album "Your Body Above Me," and has since been included on several other albums and compilations. "This Night" was also featured in the 1999 film "Varsity Blues," helping to increase its popularity.


Line by Line Meaning

I could feel that it was over
I sensed that our relationship was coming to an end


Your love for me
Your feelings for me


Why couldn't you tell me you had
Why didn't you inform me that you had


Another on your mind?
Someone else occupying your thoughts?


Its no way to treat me when you know
It's unfair to treat me poorly when you understand


How I feel inside
The intensity of my emotions


I could not hide the way I felt last night.
I was unable to conceal my feelings last night.


Tears I cried
I shed tears


My love for you I can't deny no no no no
I can't deny my love for you


Nights like this I wish
I yearn for nights like these


Rain drops would fall(yes I do hey baby oh)
For the rain to hide my tears


Girl now I know what been going on
I am now aware of what has been happening


You got another lover and you got it going strong
You have found another partner, and it's going well for you


Been walking round town with a smile on my face
I have been walking around with a forced smile on my face


Trying to fight the hurt trying to hide the shame baby
Trying to fight the pain and conceal the humiliation


I can not cry no more,
I am unable to cry anymore


Now I realize
I have come to the realization


I was too blind baby
I was foolish


Being a fool in love you
Being stupid in love


Know it ain't right girl
I know it's not correct, girl


If you really wanna be
If you genuinely want to be


In happy baby
Happy in life


Oh, oh day I cried
Oh, the day when I wept


I could feel when every thing was not to real
I could sense that something was not genuine


Inside I cried to win your love you know I tried
Internally, I tried to win your love, you are aware


Come one go on keep rain drops falling on my face baby
Please continue to let the rain hide my tears


Eh come on come on yeah
Oh come on, yes


Hey let them fall baby
Let the raindrops fall, baby
