When the nights get the best of me
I turn on the lights and the TV just for company
And all the world it seems much colder now
As darkness comes to cover me

Then thoughts of you
They take me over
I see your face again
Over and over

Baby, when I think about you
I get lonely when I'm not around you
Baby, I'll get by this time
And I'll be all right
When love comes down

When my world's about to overflow
I turn to you unconsciously
There's no reply, no one calls my name
It's a loneliness that you can't know

Then the dreams
That take me over
Keep bringin' you back to me
Over and over
Baby, when I think about you
Ooh, baby, my love's all around you
Baby, I'm on fire this time
But I'll be all right
When love comes down

I search the nights for you in vain
But still the emptiness remains
'Cause only your love lifts me
Higher and higher

Then the dreams
That take me over
Keep bringing you back to me
Over and over

Baby, when I think about you
Baby, my love's all around you
Ooh, baby, I'll get by this time
And I'll be all right
Oh, I'll be all right
When love comes down
