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
