Lyrics

Well every night I see a light shine in your window
And every night you don’t answer when I come knocking at your door
You’re Daddy won’t ever let me in
And I see from the street your silhouette sittin’ close to him
What must I do
What does it take
To get you to

Talk to me
Well, until the night is over
Little girl, won’t you talk to me
Well until the nights over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week’s pay
And baby I’ve been working hard each day
I’m not asking for the world you see
I’m just asking girl
Talk to me

Well now late at night I hear the music softly playing
And late at night I see the two of you softly swayin’
I don’t understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below your arms are open to him
What did I do
What did I say
What must I pay
To get you to

Talk to me
Well, until the nights over
Little girl won’t you talk to me
Just until it’s all over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week’s pay
And baby I’ve been working hard each day
I’m not asking for the world you see
I’m just asking girl darlin’
Talk to me
All-right

I don’t understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below and you’re arms are open to him
What did I do
What did I say
What must I pay
To get you to

Talk to me
Just until the nights over
Little girl talk to me
Well until the nights over, yeah yeah yeah
I got a full week’s pay
And baby I’ve been working hard each day
I’m not asking for the world you see
Well, I’m just asking darling please
And baby I’m down on my knees
To get you to talk to me
Well, until the nights over
Little girl won’t you talk to me
Until it’s all over
Come on darlin and talk to me
Well until it’s all over
Little girl won’t you talk to me
Well until it’s all over
