Don't you feel so lonely when it's in the afternoon
  and you gotta face it
  all through the night
  Don't it make you believe
  that something's gonna have to happen soon
  oh baby, all through the night
  
  All through the night
  oh baby, all through the night
  All through the night
  all through the night
  
  Have you ever played with an all night band
  and gone trough it, baby
  all through the night
  When the daytime descends in a night time of hell
  everybody's gone to look for a bell to ring
  all through the night
  And they do it, all through the night
  babe, all through the night
  When the words were donw and the poetry comes
  and the novel's written and the book is done
  you said, oh Lord, lover, baby, give it to me
  all through the night
  And she says it
  
  My best friend Sally, she got sick
  and I'm feeling mighty ill myself it happens all the time
  and all through the night
  I went to Saint Vincent's and I'm watching the ceiling
  fall down on her body as she's lying round on the ground
  said, oh babe, gotta celebrate all through the night
  Feel so sad I cried all through the night
  I said, oh Jesus, all through the night
  If the sinners sin and the good man's gone
  and a woman can't come and help him home
  and what you're gonna do about it
  when they go on all through the night
  and they sing, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
  all through the night
  and he says, give it to me all through the night
  It ain't so much when a man's gotta cry
  give a little loving and some peace of mind
  I said, hey babe, give it to me all through the night
  
  And some people wait for things that never come
  and some people dream of things they've never been done
  they do it, oh baby, all through the night
  The city's funny and the country's quiet
  but I'd wanna know why they don't have a riot
  why don't they do it, baby, all through the night
  Ooohhh mama, ooohhh mama, tell me 'bout it
  all through the night
  I want to have it all through the night
  If Christmas comes only once a year
  why can't anybody shed just one tear
  for things that don't happen all through the night
  Ooohhh mama, all through the night
  oh baby, do it to me all through the night
  Easy, easy, baby, why don't you give it to -
  - me all through the night
