[Intro]
I remember when five bells would toll and work would end
He and I would meet out on the square
There wasn't anybody anywhere
Could keep my love from being there

[Verse 1]
Now even in the evenin'
He can't find the time
Those hours once were mine
From five to nine

[Verse 2]
Days are when the races run
And my baby wins
But he's been cuttin' in
On my evenings

[Verse 3]
"Sorry darling, can't do like we plannеd"
The man is really ridin' me
Confidе in me
Do you think that I've been workin' too hard?

[Verse 4]
Just a broken date or two
Things ain't so grim
I guess I'll see him
Some evenin'
[Saxophone Solo]

[Outro]
Ambition is nice, but you pay the price
And wrath is a sin
But I'll get even
In the evenin'
