In the Night-time
Michael Henderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Funny,
Just seems kind of funny,
That every time it's sunny,
Can't get along with my honey.
Woo, woo, woo, woo
But in the night time,
It always comes out right.
In the night time,
It always comes out right.
Joggin'
I can't keep up with you,
In the park I missed you,
But you better not try it again.
Ohh, ohh, cause in the night time,
It always comes out right.
In the night time,
It always comes out right.
I'm not tryin' to say,
That I don't fly in the daytime,
But the going gets better for me.
In the night time.
With the phone always ringing,
Radio singing,
I just want to satisfy you.
Hey baby, is it? (Oooh, just too much)
I know it; hey, hey, hey, hey
In; baby,
It always comes out right,
Hey baby, in the might time,
It always comes out right,
Come on, come on, come on, ohhhh.
Oh, baby
Hey, in the night time,
It always comes out right.
In the night time,
And it always comes out right.
I'm not tryin' to say,
That I don't fly in the daytime,
But the going gets better for me,
In the night time.
I'm not tryin' to say,
That I'm not happy in the daytime,
But the going gets better for me,
In the night time.
Give me a chance to put my best stuff on,
Get ready, baby don't take too long,
Cause I, I want to be with you,
In the night time.
I'm not tryin' to say,
That I'm not happy in the daytime,
But the going gets better for me,




In the night time.
end

As soon as that intro rolls in, the biggest smile on my face lights up. Brings back great childhood memories with this ultra classic. Riding around in a 76 Gran Prix through the city looking at Afros wearing bright colors everywhere. I wish there was something more than the thumbs up press button.
