night life

Aretha Franklin

In the evening
When the sun goes down
You're gonna find me
Sittin' around

The night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life

O, good people
Just like you and me
Sittin' around dreaming
?Up that there used to be?

I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is

O, listen to the blues
To the blues and what they're saying
Listen to the blues, to the blues and what they're playing

They seem to be saying to me
Many people have loved
And many people have lost
They might not have loved at all
Had they known that they couldn't pay the cost

They tell me, they tell me
That life is just an empty scene
Older than the oldest broken heart
Newer than the newest broken dreams

I tell you the night life, the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But do you know that it's my life

Yeah, yeah, I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But do you know that it's my life
