Night Owl Lyrics - Carly Simon

Now a fish kinda likes the water 

and that's just where he wants to be 

and a monkey kinda digs bananas 

so he lives in the top of a tree 

but my eyes are made for darkness 

so the nightime is right for me 

'cause i'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 

i'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 

Most folks they like the daytime 

'cause they like to see the shining sun 

they're up in the mornin' 

off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun 

but when the sun goes down 

and the bright lights shine 

my daytime has just begun 

'cause i'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 

i'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long 

Won't you turn out them bright lights baby 

they're just about to drive me blind 

oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa 

watch and you'll see my love light shine 

Now there are two sides to this great big world 

and one of them is always night 

if you can take care of business in the sunshine baby 

i guess you're gonna be alright 

but don't come looking for me to lend you a hand 

my eyes just can't stand the light 

'cause i'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 

'cause i'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
