Lyrics
She calls me up, and she says baby
It's a lonely ol' night
I don't know, I'm just so scared
And lonely all at the same time
Nobody told us shit was gonna work out this way
No, no, no, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)
I guess they knew we'd work it out
In our own way
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
Radio playing softly
Some singer's sad-sad song
He's singing about, "Standing in the shadows of love"
I guess he feels awfully alone
She says I know exactly what he means (she says I know exactly what he means)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And it's a sad, sad, sad, sad feeling
When you're living on those in-betweens
But it's okay
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
Hey
She calls me, "Baby"
She calls everybody baby
It's a lonely ol' night
But ain't they all (but ain't they all)
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
Yeah
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
Yeah, like me and you
Yeah, like me and you (yeah, like me and you)
Ha
