Boy:
One summer evening
She was out there,
Waiting for a call

Girl:
From a boy
She hoped would be
Kinder than most

Boy:
He had told her
That they would write
Their story in the stars

Girl:
And like a fool she believed him
Though she'd been burned
Many times before

Together:
Oh, when will she learn

Chorus:
That he is of the night
And she is of the day
She brings him delight
And he gives her pain
They never had rules
In their silly game
They're stumbling fools
Out in the rain

Girl:
He was used to
Getting his way
When it came to the girls

Boy:
But she was different
Somehow she was
A reason to change

Girl:
Not like those other girls
She still had that
Sweetness in her eyes

Boy:
But he is far too
Broken to be
The one that she needs

Together:
Oh, when will he see

[Ch]

Girl:
How could I
Hope to tame
Your wild heart,
Your black flame?
But I will wait
And stay here
Till you burn
The rest of me

Boy:
Cross my heart
Hope to die
I won't live
To see you cry
Just you wait
Just you see
I will be
A better me

How could I
(Cross my heart)
Hope to tame
(Hope to die)
Your wild heart,
(I won't live)
Your black flame?
(To see you cry)
But I will wait
(Just you wait)
And stay here
(Just you see)
Till you burn
(I will be)
The rest of me
(A better me)

Oh when will I learn?
(Oh when will I see?)

That he is of the night
(That I am of the night)
And I am of the day
(And she is of the day)
I bring him delight
(She brings me delight)
And he gives me pain
(And I give her pain)
We never had rules
In our silly game
We're stumbling fools
Out in the rain
