Lonely Ol' Night

John Mellencamp

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, sad, sad, sad feeling when you're living on those in-betweens

But it's okay

Chorus She calls me

Baby She calls everybody

Baby It's a lonely ol' night but ain't they all

Chorus
