I've Never Known A Nite Like This

(álbum: Bish - 1978)

The King of Swing
Is playing hard to get
Stuck in Harlem
He ain't back yet
And me and my girl
Got the lights down low

She's got a taste for the music
If it's short and sweet
Champagne Charlie's trying to steal her
And he thinks he'll sweep her off her feet
I don't want to tell her how
To live her life
But she's the one who makes me feel
This way

I've never known a nite like this
Don't know how to take it
She's like night and day
First, she wants to go
Then she wants to stay
Oh, I never thought it'd be like this
Holding on to someone
Who isn't sure
If you're the one

At the Cotton Club
She tore her petticoat
Where Cab Calloway was trying
He had a Vegas throat
Every shoeshine boy thought he'd make President
But he didn't

She's got every cat's number
On Basin Street
Count the jazz baby in
She's the one who likes to tap her feet
I don't want to tell her how
To live her life
But she's the one who makes me feel
This way

I've never known a nite like this
Don't know how to take it
She's like night and day
First, she wants to go
Then she wants to stay
Oh, I never thought it'd be like this
Holding on to someone
Who isn't sure
If you're the one

I've never known a nite like this
Don't know how to take it
She's like night and day
First, she wants to go
Then she wants to stay
Oh, I never thought it'd be like this
Holding on to someone
Who isn't sure
If you're the one
