I've been drinking, I've been drinking
A little too much it's true
I've been thinking, I've been thinking,
A little too much about you
Pick up the phone, leave you alone
What's a girl to do
I've been trying all the medicine
But I can't get over you

When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
I'm still haunted by the feeling
But you're gone gone gone like a ghost

I've been crying, I've been crying
A river like the Nile
I've been lying, I've been lying
To myself a little while
Telling my friends this is the end
They know damn well it ain't true
It's got me going crazy singing
The ex-lovers blues

When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
I'm still haunted by the feeling
But you're gone gone gone like a ghost

I've been hoping, I've been hoping
One day you're coming back
Cause I'm broken, yeah I'm broken,
Going straight off of the tracks
I know it ain't right, but just for a night
Would you keep me company
Cause I'm feeling really lonely
Oh I need you next to me

When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
When it's late in the evening
That's when I need my baby the most
I'm still haunted by the feeling
But you're gone gone gone like a ghost
