The Night Bird Gets The Love Lyrics

I used to rise up in the morning
Just about the crack of dawn
And I struggle to the bathroom
Try to put my makeup on
I tried to get myself together
To join the daily push and shove
Spend my daytime working
There is no time for making love

'Til you came along
And spoke my name
Now I am the night bird
Soaring through the night
Now I am the night bird
Everything's feeling alright

'Cause I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love
Oh, I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love (the night bird gets the love)
Get-get-get...
Gets the love...
I'm getting the love...

Oh, now I rise up in the evening
About the time the moon comes up
And I spread my wings across the darkness
And I feel your loving come
And we fly to quiet places
Lying softly as a dove
Spend my nighttime grooving now
The night's my time for love

Since you came along
And spoke my name
Now I am the night bird
Soaring through the night Now I am the night bird
Everything's feeling alright

'Cause I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love
Oh, I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love (the night bird gets the love)
Getting the love...
I'm gonna get the love...
I'm gonna get the love...
(The night bird gets the love)

[Scatting]

Since you came along
And spoke my name
Now I am the night bird
Soaring through the night
Now I am the night bird
Everything's feeling alright

'Cause I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love
Ooh, I found out that the early bird will get the business
But the night bird gets the love (the night bird gets the love)
Oh... I'm getting the love
Ooh, I'm gonna get the love
Oh, I'm gonna get it
Sho' nuff, I'm gonna get it
Oh, I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get the love
Ooh, I'm gonna get it
Oh, I'm gonna get it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... ooh...
