| Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone.
|
| I’m leaving in the evening, then I’ll be goin home. |
| Hey mister,
|
| mister you can have me pay but I’m never yours to own
|
| Only I, it’s the night when I want it and only I, so leave my night alone
|
| I put a face on to wear through the day. |
| It’s a heavy uniform hanging on me,
|
| but here I am to do what I have to. |
| Noddin my head, hummin the drum,
|
| going through the motion. |
| Moving, carry on until the sundown calls the time
|
| that I’ll be gone
|
| Only I, it’s the night when I want it and only I gotta let it go.
|
| Only I, it’s the time and I want it. |
| Only I, alone
|
| Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone.
|
| I’m leaving in the evening, then I’ll be goin home. |
| Hey mister,
|
| mister you can have me pay but I’m never yours to own. |
| I’ll give you every day
|
| but the nights are just one
|
| You can tell me what to say, tell me what to do, throw me any way that you want
|
| to. |
| She won’t ever make me work the night through. |
| Cause I’ve got places to go,
|
| people to see. |
| Got my mind set on the sunset to separate me from this
|
| grindstone, carving out my way back home
|
| Only I, only I, only I, in the night is when I want it. |
| Only I, only I,
|
| so leave my night alone
|
| Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone.
|
| I’m leaving in the evening, then I’ll be goin home. |
| Hey mister,
|
| mister you can have me pay but I’m never yours to own. |
| I’ll give you every day
|
| but the nights are just one
|
| You can tie me up for a moment and I’ll earn what I owe. |
| You can’t tie me up,
|
| you better let me go
|
| Hey mister, mister, you can have my day but you better leave my nights alone.
|
| Hey mister, mister you can have me pay but I’m never yours to own |
