it's late and i'm so far from home
it's late and i don't want to be alone
it's late
and your eyes are black - your eyes are black as coal
i want to take you back - take you back to my hotel
i could be true tonight
to someone like you tonight
it's late - in this lonely hotel room
it's late and there's nobody but you
on my mind
with your lips so red - lips as red as hellfire
stop me dead
bring me down to my knees
and i could be blue tonight
for someone like you tonight
someone like you
i went looking for the devil's daughter
found you sitting in this old saloon
just exactly where the hotel porter told me
if you're looking for trouble
tonight
i know where the trouble's going to be tonight
cross my palm with silver
i could be true tonight
to someone like you tonight
i could be blue tonight
for someone like you
it's late and i'm so far from home
it's late and i don't want to be alone
it's late
as i close my eyes
you won't let me be
i can't sleep so tonight
what am i supposed to do?
i could be true tonight
to someone like you tonight
i could be blue tonight
for someone like you
