Don't wait till midnight
When there is no sunshine
You are a stranger, until there is danger
And that ain't right
Don't wait till midnight
When there is no sunshine
You are a stranger, until there is danger
And that ain't right
Hello, my child
I see you on your knees
It must be midnight
I know you're sad
But I'm so glad
You took the time out to call me, oh, yeah
You must be in trouble, yeah
I heard emergency, and I came on the double
Midnight's the only time that I can hear from you
Oh, how I wish you'd call me when your skies are blue
Don't wait till midnight
(Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait no more)
When there is no sunshine
(When there is no sunshine)
You are a stranger, until there is danger
And that ain't right
♪
I should really be upset about it
Seems like you're using me, and taking me for granted
I'm more than a Savior, more than a waymaker
Please let me show you what else I'm made of, ooh, yeah
I have a plan for your success
But I don't hear from you, until you're in a mess
Turn off your cellphone
And close up your two-way
Steer away for a minute
Let's spend some time today, y'all
Don't wait till midnight
(Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait no more)
When there is no sunshine
(Don't wait till there's no sunshine)
You are a stranger, until there is danger
And that ain't right
