I recall when we first met
I hung onto every word you said
But just like a dream, it slipped away
You're going out painting the town
Rumor has it that you're putting me down
It's so hard to accept the things they say
When the night comes down
Who's there to listen to you?
When the night comes down
Whose heart is in your hand?
When the night comes down
Who tries to keep you happy?
When the night comes down
Who's there to understand?
All this talk of running free
I know you're trying to make a fool out of me
I only wish I knew what's on your mind
We're drifting apart, it's true
Why won't you tell me what's the matter with you?
You're breaking my heart, it's so unkind
When the night comes down
Who's there to listen to you?
When the night comes down
Whose heart is in your hand?
When the night comes down
Who tries to keep you happy?
When the night comes down
Who's there to understand?
Drunken nights and senseless fights
All the wrong that we can't put right
I sit and watch you waste yourself away
Well, go on out, girl, have a ball
Get what you can before you lose it all
'Cause it's a heavy price you're gonna have to pay
When the night comes down
Who's there to listen to you?
When the night comes down
Whose heart is in your hand?
When the night comes down
Who tries to keep you happy?
When the night comes down
Who's there to understand?
When the night comes down
When the night comes down
When the night comes down
When the night comes down
