Day For Night
Changing Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No no no
No no no no no
No no no
No no no no no

All day, all night
All day, all night
[Cassandra]
You used to be someone I could hold
You used to be somebody I could talk to
But now everything has gone wrong
Why the hell do you expect me to sweat you

[Charisse]
Everytime I ask you
You up and walk away
Drama is all you bring me
That's why I gotta say parlay

Chorus

All day, all night
(I need a man who's gonna do me right singin all)
All day, all night
(oh that's the kind of man I need in my life)

[Cassandra]
You used to take me out on the town with you
And kept your arms wrapped around me
Now everytime I turn around, I'm beggin' you
But damnit you're too blind to see

[Charisse]
Everytime I page ya (everytime)
You never return my calls (no baby)
Now I know why I'm leavin'
Cause you don't give me your all

Chorus

All day, all night
(I need a man who's gonna do me right)
All day, all night
(That's the kind of man I need in my life)
All day, all night
(I need a man who's gonna do me right)

Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah

No more strokin' up and down
You're too busy
Foolin' Around
No more strokin' up and down
You must be zonin' boy

Chorus

All day, all night
All day, all night




All day, all night
All day, all night

Overall Meaning

The song "Day For Night" by Changing Faces is a classic R&B song that talks about the disappointment and hurt that come with a relationship that is losing its passion. The song is sung by two female vocalists who take turns expressing their feelings about a love interest who has become distant and unfaithful. The opening lines of the song, "No no no / No no no no no / No no no / No no no no no," create a sense of urgency and frustration that is carried through the rest of the song.


In the first verse, Cassandra sings about how her love interest used to be someone she could rely on and talk to, but now everything has gone wrong. She asks why he expects her to still care about him when he doesn't seem to put in any effort into their relationship. Charisse echoes Cassandra's sentiments in the second verse, saying that every time she tries to talk to him or get him to engage with her, he walks away. She has had enough of the drama that he brings into their relationship and wants to move on.


The chorus of the song, "All day, all night / (I need a man who's gonna do me right singin all) / All day, all night / (oh that's the kind of man I need in my life)," emphasizes the importance of having a partner who is willing to be there for you and treat you right. The bridge of the song, "No more strokin' up and down / You're too busy / Foolin' Around / No more strokin' up and down / You must be zonin' boy," further emphasizes the idea that the love interest is not fully committed to the relationship and is instead playing games.


Overall, "Day For Night" is a relatable song about the disappointment and heartbreak that can come with a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics and vocal delivery of the two singers perfectly capture the frustration and hurt that come with feeling neglected and unappreciated by a partner.
