All alone she was living
In a world without an end or beginning
Baby girl was living life for the feeling
But I don't mind, I don't mind
And all the wrongs she committed
She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was young and all she had was the city
But I don't mind, I don't mind
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears their calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
He sang a song when he did it
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
Now she dances to the song on the minute
Yeah, all the time, all the time
It made her weak when she hear it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
Yeah, all the time, all the time
And I know that she's capable of anything, it's riveting
But when you wake up she's always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears their calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
I don't think you understand [x4]
In the night she hears their calling
In the night she's dancing to relieve the pain
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
In the night when she comes crawling
Dollar bills and tears keep falling down her face
She'll never walk away (I don't think you understand)
The Weeknd - In The Night (YouTube Video and Karaoke)
"In the Night" is a song by Canadian singer The Weeknd from his second studio album Beauty Behind the Madness (2015). The song was released as the album's fourth single on November 17, 2015.
Critical reception
The song was well received by critics. Like The Weeknd's previous collaboration with Max Martin, "Can't Feel My Face", it has been widely compared to works by Michael Jackson. Jon Dolan of 'Rolling Stone wrote "Sometimes, the album stirs up real drama. "In the Night" could be just one more "Dirty Diana"-style ode to a predatory babe — until we learn the woman in the song is the victim of abuse, "dancing to relieve the pain."" Harley Brown of Spin wrote that the song "comes the closest to the wall-scaling studio and automobile airwave euphoria of “Can't Feel My Face”, ratcheting up to background synths on the scope of ’80s spectacles like “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” "The real star here is, as usual, his voice, tapping at the uppermost fragile glass of his register without quite breaking it", he continued.
