Lyrics:

(R.Mckuen) [Recorded March 21, 1969, Hollywood] I can just about get through the day, But the night makes me nervous Not for any reason. Except maybe that it catches you unaware, And follows you the way a woman follows When she wants something.. [music interlude] I've been in every kind of night, Why, I shouldn't be afraid of darkness, But for some reason, the night makes me nervous. [music to the end]
