Last Night - 10cc

Last night

You know you really really

Made me appreciate my life

When you took me to the seventh floor

And closed the door

I didn’t stand a chance

Oh oh that night

When my conscience was losing

In that age old fight

Now I’ve always been a non-believer

A true deceiver

A hit and run romance

Don’t you know that when we turned out the light

We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave

Like we were ships in the night

Going nowhere

Last night

When the feeling was missing

But the mood was right

From the moment we took the floor

I knew for sure

We’d play the parts we’re expected to

I’ve done it so many times

Man we’re all inmates of the human zoo

Our bodies in control of our minds

I played the jester and you played the fool

You kept forgetting your lines

I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two

Huh, you planned to come all the time

But when we turned out the light

We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave

Like we were ships in the night

Going nowhere (nowhere)

Oh last night

You know you really really

Gave me something to write about

In the morning it was just the same

I’d lost again

But it won’t take me long to forget

Oh oh last night
