Wait For Night

That's not the way, that's not the way of the world
Late night creeper with a saturday night,
Saturday night special
After some poor storekeeper,
You need more and more just to stay alive

Ooh it's a sin, baby you fight to win
But the rich get richer
And the poor keep living in ditches

Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's on old fever
And i tell you it's a cold killer
Said i'm talking about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And i tell you it's a heartbreaker
Yeah i'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell about, let me tell you about goldfever

Big business man, incorporate this,
Incorporate that, yeah
You're making all them dollar bills
But you no longer see humanity needs love
Ooh, it's a crime, baby in 3/4 time
Go on with your billions
While the people keep on dying in millions

Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's on old fever
And i tell you it's a cold killer
Said i'm talking about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And i tell you it's a heartbreaker
Yeah i'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell you about, let me tell you about goldfever

And it hits you like a cold fever
It comes on like a real sensation
But it will leave you in desolation
Yeah, i'm talking about goldfever
And though i know that it's an old fever
It's a number one best seller
And it can put you in heaven or hell

Ah, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever
And i tell you it's a cold killer
Let me tell you about goldfever
Let me tell you about, let me tell you about goldfever

When you walked into the room looking like jean harlow
Oh jessie, everyone looked at you, you're a lady
Though i know that you've been around the world
Maybe two or three times in your daddy's pocket
I'm gonna break that rich-bitch thing with you

Oh, jessica, you're a lady
If it takes all night you're gonna be nice
Oh, jessica, i think lady
That cold, hard front could melt like ice
Jessica, jessica, jessica, jessica
Cold like a killer's eyes
Stay with me jessica

You're a lady of the world, you've been to paris and london
But jessie, it doesn't mean a thing to you when you're lonely
Though you'd have to have a heart of stone
To put me on my knees
I know you ain't got it
I'm gonna get to you no matter what you do

Oh, jessica, you're a lady
If it takes all night you're gonna be nice
Oh, jessica, i think lady
That cold, hard front could melt like ice

Jessica, jessica,
Jessica, jessica
Cold like a killer's eyes
Stay with me jessica

Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, jessica, oh
Jessica, you're a lady

Take me home in your big black car
Oh jessica, i think lady
You're not as hard as they think you are
Jessica, jessica, jessica, jessica
Fire up your cold heart

And stay with me, jessica
Stay with me, jessica
Stay with me, jessica
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, you're a lady
Jessica, jessica

Young girl you really did believe in him
Still he broke your heart with lies
You've got to be stronger, the pain,
It won't last much longer
Don't lose respect for yourself, no

Sweet young thing,
No, don't lose your head
Or by the time you're seventeen
You'll be waking every morning
With a stranger in your bed

One broken heart,
I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart
Is no reason to give up on life

Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive

So sad,
You lived for and now you're dying for love
But you won't find it, like that
No peace and calm,
In the strength of a stranger's arms
Baby wake up to yourself

Love ain't guaranteed, no,
But it sure is worth a new start
Or by the time you're twenty-one
You'll be lying in a stranger's bed
Dying from a broken heart

One broken heart,
I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life

Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, you'll survive

And i'm hoping, i'm really hoping
That sweet love will come your way
To mend one broken heart, you'll survive
One broken heart, you'll survive
One broken heart, you'll survive

You were hungry for the lights,
You spent your nights with socialites
You're a million-dollar baby
With the million dollar blues
And you only gave your time to people you could use

Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
You were mine for just a little while
But true to style and with a smile you said,
"i have to leave you, baby, hold me one more time
'cause i know where i should be and it's a long hard climb"

Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart
Million dollar face with million dollar grace
You got off to a real bad start
Million dollar face in million dollar lace
You wound with a two cent heart

She remembers the night they first were alone
When he took her home and he said,
"i need you, won't you stay?"

And all through the night his eyes had a light
That burned very bright and she hoped
His words weren't well read lines
A little ill at ease she whispered "baby, please"
Treat me gently in the morning
Take my heart but stay with me
Treat me gently in the morning, please
Her mamma said, "silly girl you should marry him or leave
He'll only make you grieve when he decides it's over
Wake up child"
But the years fell away, they grew closer they found
Though they had their ups and downs just like lovers do
Still she'd say, "it's okay to fight, when were alone late at night
I'll always say

Treat me gently in the morning
Take my heart but stay with me
Treat me gently in the morning, please

It all went so fast one day he went away
He said st. tropez but he died that winter in a plane
The last thing he sent was a postcard from rome
It read, "i'm coming home, lady, i love you"
And under his name was a p.s. that read
Very simply it said

Treat me gently in the morning
I can't live another night
Treat me gently in the morning
I'll be on that plane tonight
