Caught by Night Songtext
von Albert Hammond, Jr.

When you asked me what was wrong
Did you know it all along?
′Cause you kinda read my mind
When you asked me for the time

And I thought the clocks would stop
Every book would be unlocked
In your heart, a boxing ring
And some super glue

Time is over there, climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don't no one despair
He don′t even care that his hair is getting thin
If he's knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in

And I miss the way we talked
What we had, not what we lost
But I guess the fault is mine
Had to prove that I was right


When you look at what you left
Try to laugh, don′t get depressed
Look at all the rotten food
On the menu here

Time is over there, climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don′t no one despair
He don't even care that his hair is getting thin
If he′s knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in

When I asked you what was wrong
Guess I knew it all along
I know when that doorbell rings
I won′t answer

Time is over there, climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don't no one despair
He don′t even care that his hair is getting thin
If he's knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in

Baby, please don′t let him in

Baby, please


If he asks you to stay
You better go
If he asks you to pay
Hell, I′ve got you
