I Can’t Stand These Nights

I can't stand these nights
(Th. Tol/J. Tuijp/C. Tol)

They say there is only pain
When love's turning into a game
It's like every flower can do without rain
A love needs sweet loving, it's always the same

So when I'm down and all alone
Will you be there to answer the phone
It's all so frustrating and really unfair
You know that I'm waiting, you know that I care

You say it would be better
That we're not home together
But I feel all alone
I can't stand on my own anymore

It's just like stormy weather
But we must stay together
Am I wrong, am I right?
But I can't stand these nights anymore
So I'm telling you now
That I can't stand these nights no more

A woman's heart needs a man
She's doing the best that she can
To make him her lover, to make it all right
But will she recover, when he's lost in sight

You say it would be better
That we're not home together
But I feel all alone
I can't stand on my own anymore

It's just like stormy weather
But we must stay together
Am I wrong, am I right?
But I can't stand these nights anymore
So I'm telling you now
That I can't stand these nights no more

So I'm telling you now
That I can't stand these nights no more
