She calls me up and 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 it was gonna work out this way no, no, no, no, no
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way
Chorus:
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 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And it's a sad, sad feeling when you're living on those in-betweens
But it's okay

Chorus:
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

She calls me baby she calls everybody baby
It's a lonely ol' night but ain't they all

Chorus:
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
