Late at night, I'm goofy like a clown
Early in the mornin', I'm just tryin' to live it down
Late at night, I do just like I please
Early in the mornin', I get down upon my knees

Late at night, I held the truth in my hand
Just like a little shiny jewel
Early in the mornin', I look in the mirror
I see the same old fool

I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now
Lord, you got to help me now"
I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now
Lord, you got to help me now"

Late at night, all my neighbors come to call
Early in the mornin', I hear them bangin' on the wall
Late at night, I blow in like a hurricane
Early in the mornin', it's just a steady, steady rain

Oh, late at night, I'm a rippin' and a roarin'
Enough to wake the dead
Early in the mornin', well, I can barely find the strength
To raise my aching head

I pray, "Lord, you got to help me now
Lord, you got to help me now"
I'm praying, "Lord, you got to help me now
Lord, you got to help me now"

Late at night
