Phyllis Hyman - 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----------
