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 she was gonna work out this way
No, no, no, no, nooooo
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
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, feeling
When you're living on those in-betweens
But it's okay

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

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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
Can I put my arms around you
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people
Like me and you

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
Yeah, like me and you
Yeah, like me and you
