Lyrics

VERSE
You get that call; it's three a.m.; you hate to even answer the phone
Person on the line says: "You sittin' down?" Of course, you jump straight up
What you hear next probably cuts clean to the bone

VERSE
You hear a loud crash; you look at the clock; it says a.m. two thirty
You go see what it was; that wine you were makin'? Well, it has exploded
When you get back to bed, the look you get is...downright dirty

First CHORUS
Only so many things can happen in the middle of the night
Some of them bad, some not so much, but one makes everything right
Only so many things can happen in the middle of the night

RIDE

VERSE
You're fast asleep; middle of a dream; when you feel her hand on your skin
You wake up fast; nobody says a word; clothes get shed
You just keep thinkin' how cool; now, let the games begin

Repeat First CHORUS

RIDE

Second CHORUS
The part I like second best is not sayin' a word
I know she loves me, and I love her, so words don't need to be said
But when the time is near I hear the best sounds I've ever heard

Repeat First CHORUS

TAG
Now I'll just go back to sleep; there might be some time before headin' for work
