The Night Time and My Baby
Embracing Life's Simple Pleasures: The Nighttime and My Baby by Joe Stampley
Lyrics
I work like a dog eight hours a day you know I'm nearly dead
I work strenuously for eight hours daily, and it leaves me feeling exhausted.
I stop by a bar on my way home and loosen up my head
I visit a bar on my way home to relax and clear my mind.
Lord knows this is a hard life sometimes it'll drive you crazy
Life is challenging, and at times, it can be mentally overwhelming.
Cause there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby
The only joy or relief I find is in the nighttime and the company of my baby.
I'd love to ride all over town in a brand new Cadillac
Although I dream of riding around in a new Cadillac, my financial situation doesn't allow it.
But on the money that I'm makin' it'll never be like that
My income is not sufficient to afford luxuries like a new Cadillac.
But money can't buy everything like tender love at home I got a waitin'
Money can't buy everything; true happiness is found in the love waiting for me at home.
And the only pleasure in this life for me is the nighttime and my baby
The primary source of joy in my life is the nighttime and the love of my baby.
When I get home she's always got love saved up for me
When I return home, my partner always has love and affection reserved for me.
Her warm sweet lips will make me forget my misery
Her warm kisses help me forget the difficulties and challenges of my day.
With her arms wrapped around me through the long long night
Her comforting embrace sustains me through the long nights.
I wake up in the morning feeling right
Waking up in the morning, I feel content and at ease because of her presence.
Start back to that old job again with the boss standin' over me
I return to my demanding job with a boss pressuring me to work faster.
Sayin' hurry up you gotta work that's the way it's gonna be
The work hours seem endless, and the pressure to perform is constant.
Ten hours just keep on draggin' Lord don't you know this life just ain't easy
The long hours make life difficult, and the challenges are hard to bear.
Well the only pleasure in this life for me is the nighttime and my baby
Despite the hardships, the nighttime and the love of my baby remain my only source of pleasure.
Yeah there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby
Reiterating that there is no joy in life for me except in the nighttime and with my baby.
Yeah there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby
Emphasizing again that there is no pleasure in life except in the nighttime and with my baby.
Yeah there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby
Stressing once more that the only solace in this challenging life is found in the nighttime and the love of my baby.
