Lyrics 5 O'clock in the Morning - Count Basie, Joe Williams

5 O'clock in the Morning

5 o’clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me
Well, it’s 5 o’clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me
And I am evil, tired and lonely
And you’re not where you ought to be
I’d be so happy, baby
If you are where you ought to be
This morning, I’d be so happy, baby
If you were where you ought to be
This morning, my whole world is empty, darling
Because you’re not here with me
Don’t think that I don’t love you
'Cause I don’t write you everyday
Don’t feel that I don’t need you
Because I haven’t much to say
I love you and I need you
So bad that I could cry this morning
Until you are here with me, baby
Well, there’s no way in the world for me to be satisfied
