Early Nights

When they talk bout love
Everybody on about heat in the moonlight
What about growing old?
Reading a book in the summer while it's still light
I can phone anyone to give me pleasure when i feel like
But who am i gonna call when i want a lullaby?

When somebody like me gets more than company it's a rarity
So i gotta hold onto it
Usually we get used and abuse
Ashamed to even admit that they know us but that's old news
If you wanna get down
I built a wall that you gotta get around treat me like a somebody
Not a body
Not a risk, bucket list or even an experiment

I want those early nights
All tucked up in bed by quarter to ten
Early nights
Coz i'm getting bored of the up all night

I wanna talk bout love
I'm not saying i'm opposed to passion
In a primal fashion
It's a natural reaction
I just want the respect that i'm asking for
I know i'm worth more
I'm so sick of sneaking through the back door
I want someone to be proud
When asked who i am they say it loud (she's mine)

When somebody like me gets more than company it's a rarity
So i gotta hold onto it
Usually we get used and abuse
Ashamed to even admit that they know us but that's old news
If you wanna get down
I built a wall that you gotta get around treat me like a somebody
Not a body
Not a risk, bucket list or even an experiment

Early nights (i want those earlier nights)
All tucked up in bed by quarter to ten
Early nights (i want those earlier nights)
Coz i'm getting bored of the up all night

Eh, get there bassline right
You might get it tonight
You've been so good
Done the dishes for days
If you want it real bad put your hands around my waist (uh)
Coz you let yourself feel more for me than anybody else
You're not put off by society
Got all the time in the world so let's get some sleep (yuh yuh yuh)

I want those early nights
All tucked up in bed by quarter to ten
Early nights (i want those earlier nights)
Coz i'm getting bored of the up all night, yeah
(of the up all night, sheesh) (of the up all night)
