in the evening, when the day is done
i´m looking for a woman, but the girl don´t come
so don´t let her, play you for a fool
she don´t show no pity baby, she don´t make no rules
-chorus: oh, oh, i need your love, i need your love
oh, i need your love, i just got to have
so don´t you let her, oh, get under your skin
it´s only bad luck and trouble, from the day that you begin
i hear you crying in the darkness, don´t ask nobody´s help
ain´t no pockets full of mercy baby, cause you can only blame yourself
chorus
oh it´s simple, all the pain that you go through
you can turn away from fortune, fortune, cause that´s all that´s left to you
it´s lonely at the bottom, man, it´s dizzy at the top
but if you´re standing in the middle, ain´t no way you´re gonna stop
chorus
oh whatever that your days may bring
no use hiding in a corner, cause that won´t change a thing
if you´re dancing in the doldrums, one day soon, it´s got to stop, it´s got to stop
when you´re the master of the off-chance, when you don´t expect a lot
chorus
