Midnight

(Alison Moyet)

Midnight, it’s raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had, well
Still I don’t know why I did him wrong, no
It’s too late now he’s gone to say

Baby oh, no, can’t leave me now
Said, think about it, please
‘Cos I love you, and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah
Before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that
Ooh, before I did you wrong

Heartache, heartache, yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I’d let him down
Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain’t got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good, sweet honey
He’s a good, strong man, and I love him so
So how on Earth can I let him go? said, whoah

Baby oh, no, can’t leave me now
Said, think about it, please
‘Cos I love you, and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah
Before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that
Ooh, before I did you wrong

And now it’s midnight it’s raining outside, yeah
And I’m soaking wet still looking for that man of mine
And I ain’t found him yet, well
All of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all of those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I’m still burning

Baby oh, no, can’t leave me now
Said, think about it, please
‘Cos I love you, and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong, yeah
Before I did you wrong
I should have thought of that
Ooh, before I did you wrong

You say you’ll lose your pride
Well, don’t you know, dear? don’t you know
I’ll lose so much more if you go now?
