Night Life / Please Send Me Someone To Love

When the evening sun goes down
You're gonna find me right here hanging 'round
The nightlife, people, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming about the old used-to-be's
The nightlife, Lord, it ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues, listen to what they're saying
Just listen to the blues, listen to what they're playing

Heaven please send to all mankind
Some understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Would you please send me someone to love?

I'll show the world how to get along
Peace will enter where hate has gone
And if it's not asking too much
Won't you please send me someone to love?

I lay awake at night and see the world so troubled
But my answer's still the same
Unless men put an end to this terrible, terrible sin
Hey, gonna put the world in a flame, what a shame

Just because I'm in misery
You know I don't ask for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Won't you please send me someone to love

Lord, the nightlife, it ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life, but it's my life
So, please, please, please send me someone to love
And do it right now, right now!
