When the evening, the evening sun goes down 
You gonna find me somewhere hanging around 
The night life, people, it ain't no good life 
But it's my life, yeah 
All the people just like you and me 
Everybody's dreaming 
Dreaming about their old used to be 
The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people 
Oh but it's my life 
Yes listen to the blues, people 
Listen to what they're saying 
Yes listen to the blues, people 
Listen to the way they're playing 
Heaven please send to all mankind 
Understanding and peace of mind 
If it's not asking too much 
Please send me someone to love, someone to love 
Show the world, show them how to get along 
Peace will enter when hate is gone 
If it's not asking too much 
Please send me someone to love 
Please send me someone to love 
Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles 
And my answer is always the same 
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin 
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame 
Just because I'm, because I'm in misery 
Oh I don't beg, I don't beg for no sympathy 
But if it's not asking too much 
Please send me someone to love, yeah 
Oh the night life, people it ain't no good life 
But it's my life, yeah 
So please, please, please, please, please, please 
Please send me someone to love 
Someone to love 
(Yes! Well, excuse me)
