In The Evening

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 Hasn't no pockets full of mercy baby, because you can only blame yourself [Chorus] [Verse 3] Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go through You can turn away from fortune, fortune, because 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, isn't no way you're going to stop [Chorus] [Verse 4] Oh whatever that your days may bring No use hiding in a corner, because 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]
