John Mellencamp — Lonely Ol' Night lyrics

Lyrics

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.
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 oflove
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 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 —. ..
yeah
like me and you
yeah
like me and you.
