take the ribbons from your hair

shake'em loose and let'em fall

let'em fall against your chin

like the shadows on the wall

come and lay down by my side

till the early morning light

all i'm taking is your time

help me make it through the night

i don't care who's right or wrong

and i won't try to understand

let the devil take tomorrow

cause tonight i need a friend

yesterday is dead and gone

and tomorrow's out of sight

and it's sad to be alone

help me make it through the night

i don't care who's right or wrong

and i won't try to understand

let the devil take tomorrow

cause tonight i need a friend

yesterday is dead and gone

and tomorrow's out of sight

and it's sad to be alone

help me make it through the night

i can't stand to be alone

help me make it through the night
