Warm night, can't sleep

Too hurt, too weak, gotta call her up

Dial that number

No one answers till it's two o'clock

And if by chance, you let me come over

Out on the street, I wanna see you, baby

And if by chance, you let me just hold ya

I'm down on my knees, I wanna please you, baby, and I'll

I'll be your righteous lover

She said, "Sugar, honey

Darlin', I really wanna see ya too"

It's just that someone's over

And baby, I really wanna be with you

But if by chance, you let me just hold ya

I'm callin', I'm free, I wanna see you, baby

When in need, you said you would be here

And you hold the key to my very being baby, and I

I love you, baby

If you are that special lover

And love keeps you tied to another

That's the way it goes on love's train

Sometimes heart strings can be broken

But you just have to keep on goin'

That's the way it goes on love's train

On a warm night, lady

Wants her baby, so she calls him up

Dial that number

No one answers till it's two o'clock

If by chance, you just come over

'Cause darlin', please, I've got to see you, baby

And when in need, you said you would be here

And now I'm in need and please believe me, baby

I love you, Honey (Listen, babe)

If you are that special lover

And love keeps you tied to another

That's the way it goes on love's train

You don't need no, you don't need no ticket to ride

Sometimes heart strings can be broken

But you just have to keep on goin'

That's the way it goes on love's train (Listen, babe, listen, baby, baby)

In deep sorrow, you've been soakin'

But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)

That's the way it goes on love's train (Love's a hurtin' thang, y'all, that makes you wanna cry, come on)

If you've found that special lover

And love keeps you tied to another

That's the way it goes on love's train (Find yourself alone)

Sometimes heart strings can be broken

But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)

That's the way it goes on love's train (In time everythang gonna be alright)

In deep sorrow, you've been soakin'

But you just have to keep on strokin' (Strokin', babe)

That's the way it goes on love's train
