MIDNIGHT SHOW
(Ron Dante / Gene Allan)
Ron Dante - 1975


The days will be lonely and the nights so long
But don't you know they're playin' my song.
Got myself together and I'm due in L.A.
It's killin' me to leave ya
But I just can't stay.

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go,
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so,
But they're callin' me.

Don't cry for me, you'll make me cry too
Be glad for me, it's all I wanna do.
It's what my life's about, it's all that I know
Come lay beside me once more before I go.

Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go,
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so,
But they're callin' me.

We had just a moment, still there's no time to spend,
I've got to see what happens, see it through to the end.
I'm torn between my music, girl, and my love for you
Oh, I'd give the whole thing up now, if you asked me to,
Please don't ask me to.

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go,
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so,
But they're callin' me.

Woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I've got to go,
Can't you see?
Oh, woman, watch me on the Midnight Show
I love you so,
But they're callin' me ... (fade)
