You know I don't have a cent to my name
The Northwind she'll come and blow just the same
She come down on me leave me cold and alone
But honey now I get along while she's gone

I turn off the lights get down on my knees
I talk to the man I'm beggin' him please
To let the night pass so soft and slow
For tomorrow who knows I may go

You know I go to the night spots
But now they never make me feel, so hot
And then the lady comes a smilin'
I put a dollar-fifty in her box

I know that it hurts the pain that you feel
I only takes love the time that should heal
The one that you miss left you cold and alone
But honey you'll get along when he's gone

You know I go to the night spots
But now they never make me feel, so hot
And then the lady comes a smilin'
I put a dollar-fifty in her box
