Take the ribbon from your hair

shake it loose and let it fall.

Layin' soft against my skin

like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side

till the early mornin' light.

All I'm takin' is your time.

Help me make it thru the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong

and I won't try to understand.

Let the devil take tomorrow.

Lord tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone

and tomorrow's out of sight.

And it's bad to be alone.

Help me make it thru the night.

Mmmmm

Mmmmmm

And it's sad to be alone.

Help me make it thru the night.

I don't want to be alone.

Help me make it thru the night.
