I don't want to spend another lonely night... Ooooh I've got the lights turned up, the door is locked The bedroom tv's on Doin' the only thing that gets me through The night since you've been gone Prayin' for daylight Waitin' for that mornin' sun So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Baby come back to me I swear I'll make it right Don't make me spend another lonely night Prayin' for daylight (Prayin' for daylight) I made a bad miscalculation, bettin' You would never leave (Ooooh) 'Cause if you're gettin' on with your new life Then where does that leave me? Prayin' for daylight Waitin' for that mornin' sun So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Baby come back to me I swear I'll make it right Don't make me spend another lonely night (spend... another lonely night) Prayin' for daylight (Prayin' for daylight) Prayin' for daylight (Prayin' for daylight) Prayin' for daylight Hopin' that I didn't wait too long (I didn't wait too long) But this is just the dark before the dawn......Oh Deep in my heart I know that you love me As much as I love you (You know I love you girl) And that you must be lyin' somewhere Lookin' up to heaven too Prayin' for daylight Waitin' for that mornin' sun So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Baby come back to me I swear I'll make it right Don't make me spend another lonely night (Make me spend another lonely night) Prayin' for daylight Waitin' for that mornin' sun So I can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Baby come back to me I swear I'll make it right Don't make me spend another lonely night (another lonely night) Prayin' for daylight (Prayin' for daylight) Prayin' for daylight (I don't want to spend another lonely night) (I don't want to spend another lonely night) Prayin' for daylight (I don't want to spend another lonely night) Ooooh Prayin' for daylight
