Albert Hammond Jr.
Caught by Night
[Verse 1]
When you asked me what was wrong
Did you know it all along?
'Cause you kinda read my mind
When you asked me for the time
And I thought the clocks would stop
Every book would be unlocked
In your heart, a boxing ring
And some super glue
[Chorus]
Time is over there
Climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don't no one despair
He don't even care
That his hair is getting thin
If he's knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in
[Verse 2]
And you miss the way we talked
What we had, not what wе lost
But I guess the fault is mine
Had to provе that I was right
When you look at what you left
Try to laugh, not get depressed
Look at all the rotten food
On the menu here
[Chorus]
Time is over there
Climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don't no one despair
He don't even care
That his hair is getting thin
If he's knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in
[Verse 3]
When they asked you what was wrong
Guess I knew it all along
I know when that doorbell rings
I won't answer
[Chorus]
Time is over there
Climbing up the stairs
And his legs are getting tired
But don't no one despair
He don't even care
That his hair is getting thin
If he's knocking at your door
Baby, please don't let him in
[Outro]
Baby, please don't let him in
Baby, please
If he asks you to stay
You better go
If he asks you to pay
Hell, I've got you
