Take the ribbon from my hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall.
Lay it soft agaist your skin,
Like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side,
Till the early morning light,
All I'm taking is your time...
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong.
I don't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow,
Lord tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone,
And tomorrow is out of sight,
It's so sad to be alone,
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong,
I don't try to understand,
Let the devil take tomorrow,
Lord tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone,
And tomorrows out of sight,
It's so sad to be alone,
Help me make it through the night.

I don't want to be alone,
Help me make it through the night.
