All Through the Night

Lyrics

Don't you feel so lonely when it's in the afternoon
 And you gotta face it
 All through the night
 Don't it make you believe
 That something's gonna have to happen soon
 Oh baby, all through the night
 All through the night
 Oh baby, all through the night
 All through the night
 All through the night
 Have you ever played with an all night band
 And gone trough it, baby
 All through the night
 When the daytime descends in a night time of hell
 Everybody's gone to look for a bell to ring
 All through the night
 And they do it, all through the night
 Babe, all through the night
 When the words were down and the poetry comes
 And the novel's written and the book is done
 You said, oh Lord, lover, baby, give it to me
 All through the night
 And she says it
 My best friend Sally, she got sick
 And I'm feeling mighty ill myself it happens all the time
 And all through the night
 I went to Saint Vincent's and I'm watching the ceiling
 Fall down on her body as she's lying round on the ground
 Said, oh babe, gotta celebrate all through the night
 Feel so sad I cried all through the night
 I said, oh Jesus, all through the night
 If the sinners sin and the good man's gone
 And a woman can't come and help him home
 And what you're gonna do about it
 When they go on all through the night
 And they sing, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
 All through the night
 And he says, give it to me all through the night
 It ain't so much when a man's gotta cry
 Give a little loving and some peace of mind
 I said, hey babe, give it to me all through the night
 And some people wait for things that never come
 And some people dream of things they've never been done
 They do it, oh baby, all through the night
 The city's funny and the country's quiet
 But I'd wanna know why they don't have a riot
 Why don't they do it, baby, all through the night
 Ooohhh mama, ooohhh mama, tell me 'bout it
 All through the night
 I want to have it all through the night
 If Christmas comes only once a year
 Why can't anybody shed just one tear
 For things that don't happen all through the night
 Ooohhh mama, all through the night
 Oh baby, do it to me all through the night
 Easy, easy, baby, why don't you give it to -
 - me all through the night
