Don't you feel so lonely when it's in the afternoon

and you gotta face it

all through the night

Don't it make you believe

that something's gonna have to happen soon

oh baby, all through the night

All through the night

oh baby, all through the night

All through the night

all through the night

Have you ever played with an all night band

and gone trough it, baby

all through the night

When the daytime descends in a night time of hell

everybody's gone to look for a bell to ring

all through the night

And they do it, all through the night

babe, all through the night

When the words were donw and the poetry comes

and the novel's written and the book is done

you said, oh Lord, lover, baby, give it to me

all through the night

And she says it

My best friend Sally, she got sick

and I'm feeling mighty ill myself it happens all the time

and all through the night

I went to Saint Vincent's and I'm watching the ceiling

fall down on her body as she's lying round on the ground

said, oh babe, gotta celebrate all through the night

Feel so sad I cried all through the night

I said, oh Jesus, all through the night

If the sinners sin and the good man's gone

and a woman can't come and help him home

and what you're gonna do about it

when they go on all through the night

and they sing, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby

all through the night

and he says, give it to me all through the night

It ain't so much when a man's gotta cry

give a little loving and some peace of mind

I said, hey babe, give it to me all through the night

And some people wait for things that never come

and some people dream of things they've never been done

they do it, oh baby, all through the night

The city's funny and the country's quiet

but I'd wanna know why they don't have a riot

why don't they do it, baby, all through the night

Ooohhh mama, ooohhh mama, tell me 'bout it

all through the night

I want to have it all through the night

If Christmas comes only once a year

why can't anybody shed just one tear

for things that don't happen all through the night

Ooohhh mama, all through the night

oh baby, do it to me all through the night

Easy, easy, baby, why don't you give it to -

- me all through the night
