Just another night,
Here I am without you.
And all of my dreams,
Girl, they are about you.

Well, I'm tryin' to understand
Why we can't be together baby.
'Cause if I was your man,
And you could be my lady

Then the world would be so right,
My life would once again have meaning.
But it's just another night,
And once again I'm dreaming.

Just another night,
And I'm callin' out your name.
I can't get no sleep,
'Cause my heart's in so much pain.

Well, I'm tryin' to understand
Why can't you make up your mind, love?
'Cause I don't know where to look,
Or even how to find love.

You could give my life it's light,
Give my heart a happy home.
But it's just another night,
And once again I'm all alone.

I gave you my heart,
Gave you all I had to give,
But my heart slipped through your hands
Like water through a sieve.

I'm picking up the pieces,
Tryin' hard to carry on,
But it's just another night,
I'm still here, and you're still gone.
