In the evening, When the day is done
  I'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't come
  So don't let her, Play you for a fool
  She don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules
    [Chorus:] Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your love
  Oh, I need your love, I just got to have
    So don't you let her, Oh, get under your skin
  It's only bad luck and trouble, From the day that you begin
  I hear you crying in the darkness, Don't ask nobody's help
  Ain't no pockets full of mercy baby, Cause you can only blame yourself
    [Chorus]
    Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go through
  You can turn away from fortune, fortune, Cause that's all that's left to you
  It's lonely at the bottom, Man, it's dizzy at the top
  But if you're standing in the middle, Ain't no way you're gonna stop
    [Chorus]
    Oh whatever that your days may bring
  No use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thing
  If you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stop
  When you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot
    [Chorus]
