In the Midnight Hour (Live at Fillmore East NYC April 1971) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes a-tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour

One more thing I wanna tell ya

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out
And twinkle in your pretty little eyes
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
That can really love me so
In the midnight hour

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When the sun is falling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
When there ain't no one else around
[Bridge]
(Midnight hour) Just you and I
(Midnight hour) Just you and I
(Midnight hour) I wanna tell you what I wanna do, baby
(Midnight hour) I'm gonna lock that door
(Midnight hour) Throw away the key
(Midnight hour) And everything is gonna be just all right
(Midnight hour) Just between you and me
(Midnight hour) Ya know in the...
(Midnight hour) It's gotta be somethin' that is smooth
(Midnight hour) Baby girl
(Midnight hour) Oh, just me and you
Nobody else around, nobody else around
Nobody else around, come on

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Please not now, there's a lot of time with ya, baby
Well, I recommend one special time
You know things begin to get good
You know your mind begin to go crazy
But you know that your baby
You know you just got to keep on right on
You can tell her everything you wanna say
You can tell her your eyes is living pools
And you can say, "Hey baby, let's hop into bed
And you can go and lay in between when you wanna"
Like the best old time I found, in this old time I found...
I just sit down in the midnight hour
In the dark of the moon
Everything is cool, everything is...
Just sit around
You don't need nobody else around
You oughta move yourself outta town
Move yourself outta town
And there won't no be nobody else around
My, my, my, my, ooh, ooh, alright
When me and my baby get together
There's only one thing I can do
There's only one thing I can say
There's only one thing I could do now
Only one thing I can say
And drive my blues away, and drive my blues away
I said, baby, come on closer
Baby, come on closer
All I want you to do is come on a little bit closer
Little bit closer, baby, that's all I need from you
Anything you wanna do, anything you wanna do is cool with me
Everything you wanna do is cool with me
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Well, baby, can you get good, when things begin to get better?
I tell everybody what to do now...
Now this is what I do, only one thing I got to do now
Only one thing I got to say
Only one thing I got to do now
Only one thing that I gotta say
I wanna tell you now, tell you now, gotta tell you now
I gotta tell you now, I gotta tell you now
I got to wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love come a-tumbling down
I got to wait 'til the midnight hour
When there's no one else around

I'm gonna take you girl and hold ya
Do everything I told ya, in the midnight hour
