Famous at Night


I ain’ no road-workin’ man
Wit muscles out ta here…
An’ I ain’ no rich investor
Wit a diamond in ‘is ear…
An’ I ain’ no football hero
Kickin’ fifty-yard field goals…
An’ I ain’ no big-time GANGSTA
Flashin’ money wherever he goes…
An’ I ain’ no politician
Talkin’ both sides of my mouth…
Naw, I AIN’ gonna win no elections
That fo’ SHO’ ain’t what I’M about…
An’ I ain’ no Sunday preacher
Spreadin’ manna on his flock…
No, I sho’ ain’ no HOLY TEACHER
‘Cause ya KNOW I was - born ta ROCK!…
An’ I ain’t got no pretty features
Like them BOYS up on my TV…
No, my face ain’t wat you’d call handsome
But, LORD, it done GOOD fo’ me…
Well, the world don’ know my name
No, it ain’ in neon lights…
The world may not know just who I am
But ‘roun’ here I’m FAMOUS AT NIGHT…
(Famous at Night)
In the darkest hours…
(Famous at Night)
When the sun goes down…
(Famous at Night)
In the darkest hours…
(Famous at Night)

(Famous at Night)

So I ain’ no physician
Who’ll cure yo’ MEASLES an’ yo’ FLU…
But I sho’ nuff am the DOCTOR
Put the steam back inta you…
AN’ I ain’ no plastic surgeon
Keep your wrinkles tightened up…
But I’ll be yo’ MOOD ENHANCER
Watch me keep you HIGH ENOUGH…
Goin’ LOVE YA, LOVE YA, LOVE YA
‘Til the STARS shoot through the sky…
Goin’ LOVE YA ‘til the mornin’
Goin’ LOVE YA ‘til ya cry…
Goin’ make you mine forever
Gonna take you WAY TOO HIGH…
Goin’ lay you DOWN an’ DO YA
Goin’ DO YA ‘til I’m DRY...
