Lonely Ol’ Night Lyrics By 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

    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 feeling
    when you’re living on those inbetweens
    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

    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
