Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At the dark end of the street
That's where, where we always meet
Hidin' in shadows where we don't belong
Livin' in darkness to hide our wrong
[Verse 2]
You and me at the dark end
Of the street
[Verse 3]
Well, I know time, time is gonna take its toll
We are gonna have to pay, we've got to pay for the love that we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But, oh, our love keeps comin' on strong
[Verse 4]
But tonight we will meet, we will meet at the dark end
Of the street, oh, yes, oh, yes, we will
[Verse 5]
They're gon' find us (You and me)
They're gon' find us (Together now)
Oh, hold me, hold me (Hold me, hold me)
Hold me baby, yeah (Hold me, baby, oh yeah)
[Verse 6]
You and me, you and me at the dark end
Meet me at the dark end of the street (Oh, yes, it is, oh, yes, it is)
Would you do that for me?
[Verse 7]
And when the daylight rolls around
If by chance, if by chance you should go downtown
If we should meet, baby, just walk on by
Please, please, please, please, please, darlin', don't cry
'Cause tonight we'll meet, we will meet at the dark end of the street
(Oh, yes, we will, oh, yes we will) You know we will
[Verse 8]
Babe, they're gonna find us (You and me)
Oh, they're gonna find us (Together now)
Yes, they'll find us (Hold me) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Hold me)
Hold me (Hold me)
[Verse 9]
They're gonna find us (You and me)
Please hold me now (Together now)
Hold me (Hold me) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Hold me)
Yeah, hold me be (Hold me) To be now
[Verse 10]
Tonight we'll meet, we'll meet at the dark end of the street
(Oh, yes, we will, oh, yes we will)
And do you know what? Believe this
[Verse 11]
I do not care if they find us (You and me)
I just want you to hold me, hold me now (Together now)
Hold me, baby (Hold me) Hold me, baby (Hold me)
Hold me, baby (Hold me, baby, in the last night)
[Verse 12]
(You and me) Hey, oh, together now (Together now)
Baby, will you hold me? (Hold me)
Baby, hold me (Hold me) Baby, hold me (Hold me)
(Baby, in the last night)
