Essentials

I don't hear a word, I don't hear a thing,
I need something to make me feel better.
I've tried her at home,
I've tried on the phone,
But somehow I can't seem to get her.

I'm waiting in line, I'm wasting my time.
Again and again
I keep hoping there's love in her eyes.
What kind of love is this?
Kind that keeps me standing in line.
What kind of love is this?
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

Whay can't it be that when she needed me,
Are memories so hard to recover?
I'm nobody's fool,
She's mean when she's cruel,
She's saving herself for another.

Her eyes are just kept to herself

Well here it comes, here comes the night.
Well here it comes, long lonely night.

I could see right out of my window,
Walking the street-my girl, with another guy.
His arms around her like she used to do with me,
Whoa, and make me wanna cry,

Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Here it comes, here comes the night.
Here it comes, here comes the night.

And there they go,
It's funny how they're looking so good together,
I wonder what's wrong with me.
Why can't I accept the fact that she's chosen him,
And she's left me.

Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Here it comes, here comes the night.
Here it comes, here comes the night.

Whoa-whoa-whoa
She's with him,
He's turned the lights down low and holding her,
Just like I used to.
Yeah, an I can see her closing her eyes
And telling her lies just like she told me too.

Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Here it comes, here comes the night.
Here it comes, long lonely night.
Well here it comes, here comes the night.
Here it comes, long lonely night.
Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Well here it comes, here comes the night.
Here it comes, long lonely night.
