Late at night, I'm goofy like a clown Early in the mornin', I'm just tryin' to live it down Late at night, I do just like I please Early in the mornin', I get down upon my knees Late at night, I held the truth in my hand Just like a little shiny j**el Early in the mornin', I look in the mirror I see the same old fool I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now Lord, you got to help me now" I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now Lord, you got to help me now" Late at night, all my neighbors come to call Early in the mornin', I hear them bangin' on the wall Late at night, I blow in like a hurricane Early in the mornin', it's just a steady, steady rain Oh, late at night, I'm a rippin' and a roarin' Enough to wake the dead Early in the mornin', well, I can barely find the strength To raise my aching head I pray, "Lord, you got to help me now Lord, you got to help me now" I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now Lord, you got to help me now" Late at night
