When the evening, the evening sun goes down   You gonna find me somewhere hanging around   The night life, people, it ain't no good life   But it's my life, yeah      All the people just like you and me   Everybody's dreaming   Dreaming about their old used to be   The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people   Oh but it's my life      Yes listen to the blues, people   Listen to what they're saying   Yes listen to the blues, people   Listen to the way they're playing      Heaven please send to all mankind   Understanding and peace of mind   If it's not asking too much   Please send me someone to love, someone to love      Show the world, show them how to get along   Peace will enter when hate is gone   If it's not asking too much   Please send me someone to love   Please send me someone to love      Nights i lay awake and ponder world's troubles   And my answer is always the same   Unless man put an end to this damnable sin   Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame      Just because i'm, because i'm in misery   Oh i don't beg, i don't beg for no sympathy   But if it's not asking too much   Please send me someone to love, yeah      Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life   But it's my life, yeah   So please, please, please, please, please, please   Please send me someone to love   Someone to love      (yes! well, excuse me.)
