[Verse 1: Jason Scheff]
Gonna wait til the midnight hour
I swear my love goes over the amount
Gonna wait til the midnight hour
Ain't nobody ever around
I'm gonna take you, girl
And hold ya
Through the all the pain, I told ya
Through the midnight hour
Yes I am
Oh, yes I am

[Verse 2: Jason Scheff, Bandmates]
I'm gonna wait til the stars come out
Gonna wait
With the trigger

I'm gonna wait til the midnight hour
Gonna wait
When my heart
Begins to shy
Gonna wait
She's the only girl I know
And ooh ooh
Prove me so
Yeah yeah
Yes I am

Let's here it for the Chicago horns

[Verse 5: Jason Scheff]
I'm not gonna lose
A good man
That I got
If I want
I would surely
Surely lose her
For the love
[?]
Any love I know
It's like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Baby
Think I better knock on wood

[Verse 6: Jason Scheff]
It's no secret
That woman-woo!
She's my loving [?]
She stays to it
That I get it good
Just one touch for
Oh, it means so much

[Bridge: All]
It's like thunder
Lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I better knock on wood
Baby
I better knock (On wood)
I better knock (On wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
Think I better knock on wood (Knock on wood)
[Verse 7: Jason Scheff]
Well my Daddy said I'm messy 'bout the whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for loving 'cause my time is all used up
I spend my time creating for some groovy kinds of love

[Chorus: All]
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help but love you so

[Verse 8: Jason Scheff]
If I had my choice of matter, I'd rather be content
Being closer to the chatter, showing where your mind is at
While relating to each other, how strong your love could be
'Cept for only sometimes groovy chicks you see

[Chorus: All]
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help but love you so

[Guitar Solo]

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: All]
When we get there gonna jump in the air
No one'll see us because there's nobody there
After all, you know we really don't care
Hold on, I'm going to take you there
