Nighttime Can Catch Ya Songtext
von Betty Wright

Nighttime can catch ya
In some funny places
Nighttime can catch ya
Leaving tear stained faces

If it were not for loneliness
I′d be home safe in bed I guess, (Ooh)
But the night seemed to call me out in the street
I ain't no party girl but I do get dancin′ feet, yeah

I end up some place a new face I see
He starts to talkin' sweet talk to me
I get to listenin' intensely
I get to feelin′ just a little weak

Don′t you go drinking that red, red wine
Oh-oh, oh, no
'Cause red wine will tell you the man′s too fine
Nighttime can catch ya
In some funny places
You know that, nighttime can catch ya
Leaving tear stained faces


He said, "Do you need a ride home?" I do
We can talk while we're alone
And he′s wearing obsession cologne
Besides I can always call my momma on his car phone

I'm impressed (I′m impressed)
To the highest
His finesse has gained my interest
Is that all that he wants from me
Sweet conversation not my body

(Don't you go drinking that red, red wine)
Oh-oh, oh, no, no
Red wine will tell you the man's too fine

Oh, You see that the nighttime
Will make you think that it′s the right time
You′ll get to drinkin' that ole red, red wine
You start to thinkin′ that he's just too fine
But oh, when you wake up tomorrow
And last night has lost its glow
You′ll be drownin' in your sorrow
Didn′t your mama tell you so


Oh, now didn't she say that
Nighttime will catch ya, oh
(Don't you go drinking that red, red wine)
′Cause nighttime will catch ya
(Don′t you go drinking that red, red wine)

Nighttime will catch ya, yeah
(Don't you go drinking that red, red wine)
′Cause nighttime will catch ya, you know
(Don't you go drinking that red, red wine)
′Cause red wine will tell you the man's too fine
(Don′t you go drinking that red, red wine)

Oh, nighttime will catch ya
I said, nighttime, nighttime will catch ya
But unless you know you better
(Don't you go drinking that red, red wine)
Don't you go drinking that red, red wine
(Don′t you go drinking that red, red wine)
Said, nighttime will catch ya
(Don′t you go drinking that red, red wine)

Nighttime will catch ya
(Red wine will tell you the man's too fine)
Nighttime will catch ya
