Verse 1:

Listen to me, all you heavy lovers,
Ain't your love affairs the same as mine?
Don't you hate the daytime,
Ain't you feeling fine?
When the little stars begin to shine,
It's peaches;

Chorus:

Isn't the night delicious,
Sweetie and you alone,
Oh, how you get ambitious
When you're seeing sweetie home.
You like to choose the wrong way
Just to be on your own,
You like to use the long way
When you're seeing sweetie home.
Moon shinin' from above,
Ev'rywhere you go,
He knows that you're making love,
Isn't he in on the know?
Oh, you're showing more and more pep
With ev'ry mile you roam,
Oh, how you love her doorstep,
When you're seeing sweetie home.

Verse 2:

Ain't it great when you're out with your sweetie,
Don't you feel as if the world is yours?
You forget your worries,
Don't care if it pours;
You're just knocking right on heaven's doors,
It's lovely;

[Chorus]
