Enough Of The Night

Capo 3rd fret   You used to stand on the tables   You used to shoot out the lights   You used to stop trucks on I-19   In your blue leopard tights   You got the vote of your high school   Most likely to exceed   But not likely to ever get enough   Enough of what you need Enough of the night                Enough of the night                  And now the carnival lights come down   The sounds of laughter recede   You sit and drink in this cardboard town   The fast lane gone to seed   You used to laugh about the damage done   But there was no way to know   How little distance you had actually come   And how far you’d have to go   It’s tough to do baby   It’s tough to make it   Oooh-mmmm   When the heart is naked   It’s tough for you baby   It’s tough for me too Without all this pain you see through Now I want to see you smile You know how it’s just been awhile Don’t allow another night to close On your empty cup you’ve had enough of those Enough of the night                Enough of the night                  You used to count on the miracles   The old shot in the dark   You used to wait for the setting sun   To help you hit your mark   You used to stand on the tables   You used to shoot out the lights   You dressed right out of the fables baby   Like the Arabian Nights   But you were never the princess   More like the queen of the thieves   And my heart was never more than one of the many   A queen receives   It’s tough to do baby   It’s tough to make it   Mmmmmm   When the heart is naked   It’s tough for you baby   It’s tough for me too Without the disdain to see through Now I want to see you smile You know how it’s just been awhile Don’t allow another heart to pass Beyond your reach say baby not so fast Hey baby not so fast       You’ve had enough of the night   To fill the street with tears   You’ve had enough of those empty hours   To last a thousand years Enough of the night              Enough of the night              Enough of the night    [slowly] Enough of the tears
