John Cougar Mellencamp

Lonely Ol' Night

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 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-between
But it's okay

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