Midnight |
Midnight it’s raining outside, yeah |
He must be soaking wet |
Everyone is sleeping tight |
God knows I tried my best |
But darling you know it looks bad |
Just lost the best thing that I ever had |
Well, still I don’t know why I did him wrong, yeah |
It’s too late now he’s gone to say |
Said baby oh no, can’t leave me now |
Said to think about it please |
'Cause I love you and I need you |
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah |
Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it |
Before I did you wrong |
Heartache, heartache, yeah |
When I saw his face I could see how bad I’d let him down |
Cheating when he was working hard |
I just had to mess around |
I knew from the start he ain’t got much money |
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey |
He’s a good strong man and I, I love him so |
So how on earth can I let him go |
Said whoa |
Said baby oh no, can’t leave me now |
Said to think about it please |
'Cause I love you and I need you |
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah |
Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it |
Before I did you wrong |
And now it’s midnight it’s raining outside, yeah |
And I’m soaking wet |
Still looking for that man of mine |
And I ain’t found him yet |
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears |
But nothing can replace all of those wasted years |
In all of this I tell you I have learnt playing with fire gets you burnt |
And I’m still burning |
Said baby oh no, can’t leave me now |
Said to think about it please |
'Cause I love you and I need you |
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah |
Before I did you wrong, I should have thought about it |
Before I did you wrong |
You say you’ll lose your pride |
Well don’t you know dear, don’t you know |
I’ll lose so much more if you go now |
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no |
Don’t you know? |
