In the Evening

In the evening

When the day is done

I'm looking for a woman

Oh, but the girl don't come

So don't let her

Play you for no fool

She won't show no pity, baby

You know that she don't make no rule

Oh, I need your love

I need your love

Oh, I need your love

I've just got to have

So don't you let her

Oh, get under your skin

It's only bad luck and trouble

Oh, from the day that she'll begin

I hear you crying in the darkness

No, don't ask nobody's help

Oh, ain't no pockets full of mercy, baby

Mmm, '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 gotta have

Ooh, it's simple

All the pain that you'll go through

You can't turn away from fortune, fortune, fortune

'Cause that's all that's left to you

Hey, it's lonely at the bottom

Man, it's dizzy at the top

But when you're standing in the middle, oh

Ain't no way you gonna stop

Oh, baby

Oh, oh, I need your love

Oh, oh, I need your love

Oh, oh, I need your love

I've gotta have

Ooh

Whatever

That your days may bring

There's no use hiding in the corner

Oh no, '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

And you're the master of the off-chance

When you don't expect a lot, oh

Oh, I need your love

Oh, oh, I need your love

Ooh, yeah, I need your love

I've gotta have, I've gotta have

Baby, I've got to have your love

I've got to have it

Oh, baby, I've got to have your love

Oh, whoa

Ooh, whoa

Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa

I've got to have your love

Just got

I've just got

I've just got to have your love

Oh, whoa, oh whoa, oh

Oh, whoa
