Take the Night Off

[Verse 1]
You should be gone, beast
Be gone from me
Be gone from my mind, at least
Let a little lady be
I don't want you to want me
Wouldn't want you to know
I don't care where you've gone, beast
I care where you go

[Chorus]
Take the night off
And be bad for me
Take it right off
And be bad for me

[Verse 2]
You're a night bird
Early riser
You have a kind of wing
To take her and surprise her
I didn't understand where you had gone
Didn't know you'd be right back
I didn't hear the night song
Calling for you into the black

[Chorus]
Take the night off
And be bad for me
Take it right off
And be bad for me

[Verse 3]
Didn't ask you to save me
Not when you knew me well
Wouldn't ask you even to behave for me
I know there's no help in hell

[Chorus]
Take the night off
And be bad for me
Take it right off
And be bad for me
