night life / please send me someone to love

when the evening sun goes down

you're gonna find me right here hangin' 'round

the nightlife

people

it ain't no good life

but it's my life

all the people just like you and me

everybody's dreaming about the old used-to-be's

the nightlife

lord

it ain't no good life

yeah

but it's my life

listen to the blues

listen to what they're saying

just listen to the blues

listen to what they're playing

heaven please send to all mankind

some understanding and peace of mind

but if it's not asking too much

would you please send me someone to love?

i'll show the world how to get along

peace will enter where hate has gone

and if it's not asking too much

won't you please send me someone to love?

i lay awake at night and see the world so troubled

but my answer's still the same

unless men put an end to this terrible

terrible sin

hey

gonna put the world in a flame

what a shame

just because i'm in misery

you know i don't ask for no sympathy

but if it's not asking too much

won't you please send me someone to love

but it's my life

but it's my life
