The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me
 
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
 
Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look like they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
And I hope I reach it once again
 
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
Yeahhhh, Ohhhh, Yeahhh
 
So many times I wonder where I've gone
And how I found my way back in
I look around awhile for something lost
Maybe I'll find it in the end
 
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
 
Feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
No matter how much I pretend.

YEAR: 1974
 
            Lady of the Night is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Donna Summer, released on February 26, 1974. The album, which was produced by Pete Bellotte, was released only in The Netherlands, and spawned the minor hit singles "The Hostage" and "Lady of the Night" in that country. The songs, written by the Moroder/Bellotte team, are mostly of the pop/rock/folk variety. The track "Lady of the Night" is popular in Germany, receiving air time on radio stations that feature classics of the sixties and seventies. Being formerly married to an Austrian, Donna Summer was a fluent German speaker and recorded a number of songs in that language.
        "Full of Emptiness" was excised from all CD reissues, as the track was re-mixed and re-released on her next album, 1975's Love to Love You Baby.

They call her the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
And easy-living girl with love for sale
 
That's what they call her the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
And even less about the place
From where she came
 
Every evening when the night is close at hand
You'll find the lady on the rue d'avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It's just a job but she'll do the best she can
 
Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
And less than what she seems to be
 
And easy-living girl
(she is the lady of the night)
She's a woman of the world
(she is the lady of the night)
With lots of loving for sale
(she is the lady of the night)
Lady lady of the night
 
Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfume hotel room
Shadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawn
She's no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
'cause lady can be tough
Be warned!
 
She's a lot like you and me
(she is the lady of the night)
And never just what she seems
(she is the lady of the night)
No one seems to know her name
(she is the lady of the night)
Or the place from where she came.

I remember still, I guess I always will
That winters day I took the west bound flight
As I looked down from the plane
You were standing in the rain
You waved goodbye
Till I was out of sight
 
And I can see them shining
Through the Willows and the Pines
The lights of Cincinatti
Oh, so many miles behind
I could build myself a new life
And make it on my own
But the lights of Cincinnati
Will be calling me back home
 
Sometimes late at night
I watch the fire light
Make pictures of a life that used to be
For a moment I'm back there
In that same old rocking chair
You look across the room
And smile at me
 
And I can see them shining
Through the Willows and the Pines
The lights of Cincinatti
Oh, so many miles behind
I could build myself a new life
And make it on my own
But the lights of Cincinnati
Will be calling me back home
 
But the lights of Cincinnati
Will be callin' me back home.

I gave all my oxygen to people that could breathe
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
Oh, honestly?
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
It goes on and on
 
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
My farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
 
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or dream
What line do we stand upon 'cause from here looks the same?
And only scars remain
 
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
My farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
 
But if don't
Then I'll go back
To where I'm rescuing a stranger
Just because they needed saving just like that
Oh, I'm here again
Between the devil and the danger
But I guess it's just my nature
My dad was wrong
'Cause I'm not like my mum
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
But it helps
So before I save someone else
I've got to save myself
 
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
My farewell
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself.
