Late at night I'm goofy like a clown Early in the morning I try to live it down Late at night I do just like I please Early in the morning I'm down on my knees Praying, Lord you got to help me Lord you got to help me Late at night I held the truth in my hand A bright shiny jewel Early in the morning I look in the mirror I see the same old fool Late at night I'm singing with my friends Early in the morning The fun never ends Late at night The neighbors start to call Early in the morning They're beatin' down the wall I said, Lord you got to help me You got to help me, help me
