Verse 1

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 

Verse 2

Radio playing softly some singer's sad, sad song
He's singin about stanin' 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, feelin' when you're livin' on those in betweens,
But it's okay    

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 

Bridge

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

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 
Yeah like me and you 
Yeah like me and you
