(S. Van Zandt)



It's the same old story, baby 

You go out and have a good time 

Leaving me here to wonder 

If I ever had what I thought was mine 

But I got a little surprise for you, baby 

The old boy is back in style

Yes, he is



No more sleepless nights 

I'm all through walkin' the floor 

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone 

'Cause I ain't got the fever no more 



Last time that I saw you, baby 

I had nothing left to say 

And I thought I'd lost my reason for living 

When you took my sunshine away 

But now you're a fading memory 

Like one long, cloudy day, baby 



No more sleepless nights 

I'm all through walkin' the floor 

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone 

I ain't got the fever no more 



My only regret, baby 

Is that I waited so damn long 

I thought that I'd been making you happy 

But all I did was wrong, wrong, wrong 

It's a brand new ball game, darling 

And, honey, you just got shut out 



No more sleepless nights 

I'm all through walkin' the floor 

I ain't gonna wait by the telephone 

I ain't got the fever no more
