Daytime turns me off
and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound
When it's done
I run out to see my baby
we get 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 turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
seems like just one time I'm feelin' 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 feelin' good

I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for you
