[Chorus: Edna Wright]
Baby, spend the nights with me
All day you can be free
But darling, spend the nights with me
[Verse 1: Edna Wright]
Leave home (leave home), early in the morning (early in the morning)
And stay calm (and stay calm), long as you please (as long as you please)
But when the Sun starts setting, (please baby) baby please don't [?] your love back to me
But darling, when the moon is bright (oh baby)
I want you to be holding me tight
Oh
[Chorus: Edna Wright]
Baby, spend the nights with me
All day you can be free
But darling, spend the nights with me
[Verse 2: Edna Wright]
All Day (all day), I keep busy (I can keep busy)
(But I'm still lonely) around the house, while you're gone
To keep my mind off you (oh how can I) That you're being untrue
I work my fingers to [the lonely?]
And when it's time for me to [?]
I want my pillow to be your chest, oh
[Bridge: Edna Wright]
As faithful as the morning Sun
Oh baby, I'll be waiting for you to come
Oh
[Chorus: Edna Wright]
Baby, spend the nights with me
All day you can be free
But darling, spend the nights with me
