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
