I've been up and down, I've been all around, so I was mystified, almost terrified
But late at night I still hear you call my name.
I've been on my own, I've been all alone, so I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed
But late at night I still want you just the same...
I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool; and I sure know something, sure know something
You showed me things they never taught me in school; and I sure know something, sure know something
No one can make me feel the way that you do; and I maybe know something, aha.
I was seventeen, you were just a dream, so I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside
You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain...so I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt
I've been starry eyed, never satisfied: 'cause late at night I still need you just the same
Just the same.
