Oh, its just another summer mornin', Baby, somewhere in this town
|
The heat is rising
|
Oh, I know where you spent last night so you can stop apologizing
|
You say that you've been out... just lookin' around this town
|
I don't wanna know just exactly what you've found
|
Because tonight I'm goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts
|
Go flyin'
|
|
Don't they fly by night
|
Yeah tonight I'm goin' out on these streets and watch the lonely hearts
|
Go flyin'
|
|
I'll be standin' on the corner watchin' the men folk go by
|
I don't wanna touch 'em honey, I'll look them in the eye
|
And say, "Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts
|
Go flyin"
|
|
Oh, I never put a chain upon your heart or tried to make you walk the
|
Line for me
|
Only a fool would want a heart that needs a chain to keep it restin'
|
Here beside of me
|
You say you wished I cared what you did with your time
|
But what's your time is yours and tonight is gonna be mine
|
And I'm goin' out on these streets tonight
|
To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
|
Don't they fly by night
|
I'm going out on these streets tonight
|
To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
|
|
I'm comin' out of your pocket and into my own
|
I'm gonna have a stronger heart when I round the bend for home
|
Now I'm goin' out on these streets tonight
|
To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
|
Don't they fly by night
|
I'm going out on these streets tonight
|
To watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
|
I'll be standin' on the corner watchin' the men folk go by
|
I don't wanna touch 'em honey, I'll look them in the eye
|
And say, "Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts
|
Go flyin"
|
Oh, they fly by night
|
I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flyin'
|

Fly By Night
