Women of the Night
Stick Figure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Women of the night, yeah
They're everywhere in sight yeah
It's two in the morning don't do me like that, yeah
Well I'm just passing by you
Not here to satisfy you
You try to flag me down on my way through town, yeah

And you will live and you will learn
And under pressure you will burn
Your shall forever yes control your destiny now

Only thinking of your prices
Not what your sacrificing
It's two in the morning please leave me alone
I can hear you calling
I can hear you falling
Mixed up with the wrong interpretation

The day will come and you will know
One day the stars will meet the moon
You shall forever yes control your destiny now

She say, when something feels so good it can hurt so bad
Just for a little love making on the side you sure got to pay the price
It was pain and pleasure, rain and sunshine

Tears of joy, making sacrifice to give you what you like
Women of the night
Lady of the night
Women of the night
Come see about me
She's a lady, still a lady
Lady of the night, come do me right...

Well I don't want to lose you
Well I don't want to school you
It's two in the morning don't do me like that, yeah

I know there's no use in trying
I know you's confused, you's crying
I got this old question and I'll sing it to you

Women of the night
Lady of the night
Women of the night
Come see about me

Special occasion, sweet sensation
You give it me with a rocking vibration
But a natural revelation
Exploring each other with satisfaction




All I ask of you tonight is to be true, is to be true
To the world
