It's late and I'm so far from home It's late and I don't want to be alone It's late And your eyes are black - your eyes are black as coal I want to take you back - take you back to my hotel I could be true tonight To someone like you tonight It's late - in this lonely hotel room It's late and there's nobody but you On my mind With your lips so red - lips as red as hellfire Stop me dead, bring me down to my knees And I could be blue tonight For someone like you tonight Someone like you I went looking for the devil's daughter Found you sitting in this old saloon
Just exactly where the hotel porter told me If you're looking for trouble, tonight I know where the trouble's going to be tonight Cross my palm with silver I could be true tonight To someone like you tonight I could be blue tonight For someone like you It's late and I'm so far from home It's late and I don't want to be alone It's late As I close my eyes, you won't let me be I can't sleep so tonight What am I supposed to do? I could be true tonight To someone like you tonight I could be blue tonight For someone like you
