Maybe the lateness of the hour. Makes me seem bluer than I am. But in my heart there is a shower,. I hope she'll be happier with him.. . Maybe the darkness of the hour.
Wonder who is waiting for me. At the end of Heartbreak Road. Hope that she'll be tender. Someone I can know.. . Heartaches just don't last forever. But it's a lonely road.
Summer night in Harlem. Man it's really hot. Well it's too hot to sleep and too cold to eat. I don't care if I die or not. . Winter night in Harlem. Oh oh radiator won't get hot.
Cold Baloney, and I'm home by myself.. Well I'm five years old, and it sure is cold. Mama's out cookin' steak for someone else. Sure am sleepy, but I'm gonna wait till my mama comes.
