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

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

He`s singing about standing in the shadows oflove
I guess he feels awfully alone.
She says I know exactly what he means

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 - . . .
She calls me baby
she calls everybody baby.
It`s a lonely ol` night
but ain`t they all?
It`s a lonely ol` night - . . .
It`s a lonely ol` night - . . .
