Michael Johnson - This Ain't The Night To Be Me lyrics

Life of the party, feel like a fool
Just look at this smile I'm wearing
And this isn't easy faking it all
Hiding the pain I'm bearing

She left a note on the dresser today
She said it's over and she's gone away
This ain't the night to be me

Counting the hours, checking my watch
Wishing this evening was over
Feeling my heartache, fighting the tears
Lord I could sure use a shoulder
I gotta go now cause, I can't wait
To get home and let this poor heart break
This ain't the night to be me

(I) Tonight the only thing I
Need is just another chance with
You, you know I really need you here with me
Tonight I'm feeling so alone and
(I) never thought that I would
Cry like I'm crying these
Tears inside tonight

I gotta go now cause, I can't wait
To get home and let this poor heart break
This ain't the night to be me

(I) Tonight the only thing I
Need is just another chance with
You, you know I really need you here with me
Tonight I'm feeling so alone and
(I) never thought that I would
Cry like I'm crying these
Tears inside tonight

Life of the party, feel like a fool
Feeling the heartache, fighting the tears
Counting the hours, checking my watch
Life of the party feeling the heartache
