Don't you feel so lonely when it's in the afternoon   And you gotta face it   All through the night   Don't it make you believe   That something's gonna have to happen soon   Oh baby, all through the night      All through the night   Oh baby, all through the night   All through the night   All through the night      Have you ever played with an all night band   And gone trough it, baby   All through the night   When the daytime descends in a night time of hell   Everybody's gone to look for a bell to ring   All through the night   And they do it, all through the night   Babe, all through the night   When the words were donw and the poetry comes   And the novel's written and the book is done   You said, oh lord, lover, baby, give it to me   All through the night   And she says it      My best friend sally, she got sick   And I'm feeling mighty ill myself it happens all the time   And all through the night   I went to saint vincent's and I'm watching the ceiling   Fall down on her body as she's lying round on the ground   Said, oh babe, gotta celebrate all through the night   Feel so sad I cried all through the night   I said, oh jesus, all through the night   If the sinners sin and the good man's gone   And a woman can't come and help him home   And what you're gonna do about it   When they go on all through the night   And they sing, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby   All through the night   And he says, give it to me all through the night   It ain't so much when a man's gotta cry   Give a little loving and some peace of mind   I said, hey babe, give it to me all through the night      And some people wait for things that never come   And some people dream of things they've never been done   They do it, oh baby, all through the night   The city's funny and the country's quiet   But I'd wanna know why they don't have a riot   Why don't they do it, baby, all through the night   Ooohhh mama, ooohhh mama, tell me 'bout it   All through the night   I want to have it all through the night   If christmas comes only once a year   Why can't anybody shed just one tear   For things that don't happen all through the night   Ooohhh mama, all through the night   Oh baby, do it to me all through the night   Easy, easy, baby, why don't you give it to -   - me all through the night
