[Verse 1]
Well every night I see a light shine in your window
And every night you won't answer when I come knocking at your door
Your daddy won't ever let me in
And I see from the street your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do
What does it take
To get you to

[Chorus]
Oh, Talk to me
Well until the night is over
Hey little girl want you talk to me
Well until the night is over, yeah yeah
I got a full week's pay
And baby I've been working hard each day
I'm not asking for the world you see
I'm just asking girl
Talk to me

[Verse 2]
Well late at night I hear the music softly playing
Yes and late at night I see the two of you softly swayin'
I don't understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below your arms are open to him
What did I do
What did I say
What must I pay
To get you to

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Well until the night is over
Little girl won’t you Talk to me
Just until it’s all over, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
I don't understand darling what was my sin
Why am I down here below and your arms are open to him

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
