lyrics

You know this life is short and shabby, girl, so don't be shy
Got sixty years or so to say hello, the rest is all goodbye
See, everybody loves you, baby, why can't I?
And Lord, the night is so long

If love is mother-may-I, death is yes-you-may
You're goddamned right I'm lonely, everybody's born that way
And you're goddamned right I'm desperate, like there's no escape
And Lord, the night is so long

Time, time will change your mind
Girl, you think that body's just gonna age like wine
Well, sooner than you think you're gonna find, find, find out
Why the night is so long

It's a lousy world we live in, girl, so don't hedge your bets
You know you're always guaranteed at least a lifetime of regrets
'Til one fine day the darkness come and clear our debts
And Lord, the night is so long

If I make it up to heaven for my big debut
Maybe, honey, I'll put in a good word for you
See, it ain't who you know, baby, it's how you knew
And Lord, the night is so long
