If It Takes All Night

Roxy Music

Oh here it comes again

That old ennui

I hope it won't stay long

Well it's every-man to his own thing

And every singer to his song

If you're feeling low

And all upset

Nothing's going right

You just make a wish

Like in a fairy tale

And I'll bewitch you

If it takes all night

There are many things

That I could say

To try and comfort you

But I know the words you'd like to hear

Are simply "I love you"

Sometimes I'm up

Sometimes I'm down

A topsy-turvy life

But only searching

For the truth

And I'll find it

If it takes all night long

Well I myself

May main concern

Is what I can afford

So if music be my mistress

Then at least she's Madame Claude...d'accord

Ah - more champagne!

To lose this pain

Would be very nice

So I'll help myself to one more drink

And I'll find myself

If it takes all night long
