You know the night time, darling (night and day)
Is the right time (night and day)
To be (night and day)
With the one you love, now (night and day)
Say now oh baby (night and day)
When I come home baby, now (night and day)
I wanna be with the one I love, now (night and day)
You know what I’m thinking of (night and day)
I know the night time (night and day, oh)
Whoa, is the right time (night and day, oh)
To be with the one you love, now (night and day)
I said to be with the one you love (night and day)
You know my mother, now (night and day)
Had to die, now (night and day)
Umm, and my father (night and day)
Well he broke down and cry (night and day)
Whoah! whoa baby (night and day)
When I come home baby now (night and day)
