In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night I call your name
Oh Yoko
Oh Yoko
My love will turn you on

In the middle of the bath

In the middle of a shave
In the middle of a shave I call your name
Oh Yoko
Oh Yoko
My love will turn you on

In the middle of a dream
In the middle of a dream I call your name
Oh Yoko
Oh Yoko
My love will turn you on

In the middle of a cloud
In the middle of a cloud I call your name
Oh Yoko,

My love will turn you on,
