[hook]
She may not be good lookin’
She may not fit the type
But she stays up all night
Yeah, she stays up all night
She may not be good lookin’
But she treats me right
She stays up all night
For me
And I get a discount

[verse 1]
Fluorescent lights, three a.m.
Same old face, she knows my name
I come in tired, pockets thin
She just smiles, lets me win
Coffee burned, my hands still shake
Long day done, long night awake
She don’t ask why I’m back again
She just scans it, counts it in
Everybody else clocks out
She’s the reason the lights stay on
If the world shut down tonight
I’d still be fine till dawn

[pre-chorus]
They say beauty fades with time
But loyalty don’t rust
When everything costs too much
She cuts me some slack—just because

[hook]
She may not be good lookin’
She may not be your type
But she stays up all night
Yeah, she stays up all night
She may not be good lookin’
But she treats me right
She stays up all night
For me
And I get a discount

[verse 2]
Rain on glass, neon glow
Everyone gone, nowhere to go
Hot dogs spinning, radio low
She’s still here, that’s all I know
I buy nothing, I buy time
She lets it slide, says “you’re fine”
Receipt shorter than my week
But that little drop means everything
I don’t need love in a movie scene
I don’t need champagne nights
Just someone there when the clock gives up
And the city turns off the lights
---
[bridge]
If the sun never comes back up
I’ll be standing in line
Counting change like it matters
While she saves me a dime
---
[hook – final]
She may not be good lookin’
She may not fit the frame
But she stays up all night
And she knows my name
She may not be good lookin’
But she treats me right
She stays up all night
For me
And I get a discount
---
[outro]
All night.
For me.
