John Cougar Mellencamp Lonely Ol` Night Lyrics

Lonely Ol` Night 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.
