Wide awake in the middle of the night

I wonder how she's feelin'

Is it just a trick of the light

Or is her ceiling peeling?

She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head

At a copy of "True Confessions"

Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale

To a woman of her profession

F->G F->G

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

F->G F->G

Was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

Or was it just another trick of the light?

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

Or was it just another trick of the light?

Come on, tell me

What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?

They don't make girls like you no more

And I'd like to get to know you

On closer terms than this

But I guess you've heard it all before

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me

Shakes her head and sighs

Out of time, out the door

Red light shinin' in my eyes

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

All right?

But was I all right?

All right?
