I never made your mothers cry
But their eyes are on my shivering mode
And I never saw the morning til I stayed up all night
Blinded and cruel
They busted me for many years
Now everyone down here is getting on up

So do not be late
No time to waste on someone better, babe
It's dripping on all them rooftops and floors
This town is to hear me out

I did not even blink an eye
Didn't read no sign
About where to head
But I called for it so many times
It made me lose my mind
And come back again

So do not be late
No time to waste on someone better, babe
It's dripping on all the rooftops and floors
This town is to hear me out
This town is to hear me out
Backwards over midnight
