Swore to myself
Time and time and time again
That I would give up the night life and start layin' in
But it ain't easy, no no
Sayin' no to my friends
'Cause the real, 'cause the real
Set don't get started
Till everyone else is in

And it looks like daylight gonna catch me up again
Gonna catch me up again
Most people like getting up when I'm just getting in
It's the only, only, only, only time
When I can unwind

Daylight gonna catch me up
Gonna catch me up
Daylight gonna catch me up again

It is 5 in the mornin'
This place here is still jumpin'
I've seen right in the corner
This big roar with my main man fisty
Lots of pretty girls dancin'
I see happy faces happy feet
You know we are not in a hurry
To get out on that cold cold street

It looks like daylight gonna catch me up
Gonna catch me up
Daylight gonna catch me up again

Swore to myself
Time and time and time again
That I would give up the night life and start layin' in
But it ain't easy, no no
Sayin' no to my friends
'Cause the real, 'cause the real
Set don't get started
Till everyone else is in
