In The Evening

In the evening when the day is done
I’m looking for my woman, but the girl don’t come
So don’t let her play you for a fool
She don’t show no pity,
        she don’t make no rules

Oh, I need your love, I need your love
Oh, I need your love, I just got to have it

So don’t you let her get under your skin
It’s only bad luck and trouble
        from the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness,
        don’t ask nobody’s help
Ain’t no pockets dull of mercy, baby,
’cause you can only blame yourself

Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I’ve got pain
 
Ooh, it’s simple, all the pain
        that you go through
You can’t turn away
        from fortune, fortune, fortune
        ’cause that’s all that’s left to you
It’s lonely at the bottom, man, it’s dizzy as the top
But if you’re standing in the middle,
        oh, ain’t no way you’re gonna stop

Oh, oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love, I’ve got pain

Oh whatever, what your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner,
        ’cause that won’t change a thing
If you’re dancing in the doldrums,
        one day soon it’s got to stop, it’s got to stop
When you’re the master of the off chance,
        well, you don’t expect a lot

Oh, I need your love, oh, oh, I need your love
Ooh, yeah, I need your love, I’ve got pain
Ooh, I’ve got pain
