Billy Joe Royal - Before The Night Is Over lyrics

rate me

I can't stay home at all, I'm afraid you might call

And I'm fool enough to fall for the same old line

I won't follow my heart to wherever you are

No, I won't go that far, no, not this time

Oh, when it comes down to it

I'll try not to do it

But there'll be a quarter in a pay phone

And a finger on a touch tone

Before the night is over

I'll just cruise with my friends cause they know how it is

I'll just smile and pretend that it's all right

And turn the radio on, there's so many sad songs

But I'll leave you alone if it takes all night

Cause when it comes down to it

I'll try not to do it

But there'll be a quarter in a pay phone

And a finger on a touch tone

Before the night is over

Would it hurt more not to have you

Or hurt more to be without you

Or to never ever have you again (to have you again)

But when it comes down to it

I just know I'm gonna do it

There'll be a quarter in a pay phone

And a finger on a touch tone

Before this night is over
