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)
