Lyrics – Bee Gees – Nights on Broadway

The song Nights on Broadway by the Bee Gees is a defining track from their 1975 album Main Course. Written by the Bee Gees during the recording sessions for the Main Course, Nights on Broadway became the turning point in their career, marking their transition from soft rock to the disco-infused sound that would later dominate the late ’70s. Drummer Dennis Bryon added infectious energy to the track. His tight hi-hat work, crisp snare hits, and rolling tom fills added a rhythmic complexity that set it apart from previous Bee Gees songs.

 

Verse 1:

Here we are
In a room full of strangers
Standing in the dark
Where your eyes couldn’t see me

 

Pre-Chorus:

Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won’t stop my loving you
I can’t stay away

 

Chorus:

Blamin’ it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin’ them love songs
Singin’ them “straight to the heart” songs
Blamin’ it all on the nights on Broadway
Singin’ them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town

 

Verse 2:

Now, in my place
There are so many others
Standin’ in the line
How long will they stand between us

 

Pre-Chorus:

Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to
But that won’t stop my loving you
I can’t stay away

 

Chorus:

Blamin’ it all (blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway (blame it on the nights on Broadway)
Singin’ them love songs
Singin’ them “straight to the heart” songs
Blamin’ it all (I’m blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway (blame it on the nights on Broadway)
Singin’ them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town (oh, those nights)

 

Bridge:

I will wait
Even if it takes forever
I will wait
Even if it takes a lifetime
Somehow, I feel inside
You never ever left my side
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime, ooh

 

Chorus:

Blamin’ it all (I’m blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway (blame it on the nights on Broadway)
Singin’ them love songs (yeah, yeah)
Singin’ them “straight to the heart” songs
Blamin’ it all (I’m blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway (blame it on the nights on Broadway)
Singin’ them sweet sounds (oh yeah yeah)
To that crazy, crazy town (yeah)

 

Outro:

Blamin’ it all (I’m blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway (blame it on the nights on Broadway)
Singin’ them love songs (yeah, yeah)
Singin’ them “straight to the heart” songs
Blamin’ it all (I’m blamin’ it all)
On the nights on Broadway
Singin’ them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town
