Lyrics
You know the night time now (Night and day)
Is the right time (Night and day)
To be (Night and day)
With the one you love now (Night and day)
Say now, oh, baby (Night and day)
When I come home, baby, now (Night and day)
I wanna be with the one I love now (Night and day)
You know what I'm thinkin' of (Night and day)
I know the night time (Night and day)
Oh, is the right time (Night and day)
To be with the one you love now (Night and day)
I said to be with the one you love (Night and day)
You know my mother now (Night and day)
Had to die now (Night and day)
Ooh, and my father (Night and day)
Well, he broke down and cried (Night and day)
Whoa, oh, baby (Night and day)
Well, now come on, baby now (Night and day)
I want you to hold my hand (Night and day)
Yeah, tight as you can (Night and day)
I know the night time (Night and day)
Oh, is the right time (Night and day)
To be with the one you love now (Night and day)
You know what I'm thinkin' of (Night and day)
Whoa, sing your song Margie
Baby (Night and day)
Baby (Night and day)
Baby (Night and day)
Oh, baby (Night and day)
Come on, I love you (Night and day)
There's no one above you (Night and day)
Hold me tight (Night and day)
And make everything all right (Night and day)
Because the night time (Night and day)
Oh, is the right time (Night and day)
To be with the one you love now (Night and day)
Oh, yeah, now (Night and day)
Tease me (Night and day)
Squeeze me (Night and day)
Leave me (Night and day)
Ah, don't leave me (Night and day)
Oh, baby (Night and day)
Take my hand now (Night and day)
I don't need (Night and day)
No other man now (Night and day)
Because the night time (Night and day)
Oh, is the right time (Night and day)
To be with the one you love now (Night and day)
Oh, yeah, now (Night and day)
I said, baby (Night and day)
Baby (Night and day)
Baby (Night and day)
Whoa, baby, now (Night and day)
Oh, come on, baby (Night and day)
You know I want you by my side (Night and day)
I want you to keep (Night and day)
Oh, keep me satisfied now (Night and day)
I know the night time (Night and day)
Everyday, it's the right time (Night and day)
Yeah, to be with the one you love now (Night and day)
Well, and you know I'm right (Night and day)
Oh, yeah, now
