Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She calls me home 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 me she was gonna work out this way, no, no, no, no, no
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Radio playin' softly some singer's sad, sad song
He's singin' about standin' in the shadows of love
I guess it feels awfully alone
She says I know exactly what he means, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And it's a sad, sad, sad, sad feelin'
When you're livin' on those in betweens, but it's okay
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
She calls me baby
She call everybody baby
It's a lonely ol' night
But ain't they all?
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Girl, like me and you
Yeah, like me and you
