Night Life - Aretha Franklin

In the evening, when the sun goes down

You’re gonna find me, doing

What I’m doing right now, and next just sitting around

The night life, it ain’t no good life

But it’s my life, yes it is

And all good people, good people, just like you and me

They’re sitting around dreaming

Sitting around dreaming about that used to be

Oh, listen to the blues, to the blues and what they’re playing

I wonder tonight, are you really listening to the blues

To the blues and what they’re saying

What they seem to be playing to me that’s, that many people have loved

And they seem to be saying to me that many people have lost

Well, listen, they might not to have loved at all

If they had know that they couldn’t pay the cost

Oh, they tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah, they tell me, yeah, they tell me

They tell me that life is just an empty scene

They say that is older than the oldest broken hearts

And they tell me that is newer than the newest stood dreams
