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.
