I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things
That keep me from thinking of you
Oh baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights
I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light 
I think that I could make it)
Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights
I think that I could take it)

No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
Oh baby, I feel so bad
I know I'm never gonna make it
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to
Bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad

Somehow I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could take it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light
I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights
I think that I could make it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could take it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights
I think that I could make it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light
I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could take it)

If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights 
I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights
I think that I could take it)

Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(Even I could see a light
I think that I could make it)
Guess my future would look bright
If it wasn't for the nights
