Daytime turns me off, And I don't mean maybe Nine to five Ain't takin' me where I'm bound When it's done, I run out to see my baby We got groovin' When the sun goes down I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day A day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation, it's a time to groove I thank the Lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you I'll talk about plans now Baby, I got plenty Nothing ever seems to turn out The way it should Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any Seems like just one time I'm feeling good I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day A day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation, it's a time to groove I thank the Lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you Seems like just one time I'm feeling good I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day A day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation, it's a time to groove I thank the Lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you Thank the Lord for the night time Thank the Lord for you
