Lonely Ol Night — John Mellencamp

She calls me up and says baby its a lonely ol night

I dont know Im 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 wed work it out in our own way

Chorus

Its a lonely ol night

Can I put my arms around you

Its a lonely ol night

Custom made for two lonely people like me and you

Radio playing softly some singers sad sad song

Hes 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 its a sad, sad feeling when youre living on those in-betweens

But its okay

Chorus

Its a lonely ol night

Can I put my arms around you

Its a lonely ol night

Custom made for two lonely people like me and you

She calls me baby she calls everybody baby

Its a lonely ol night but aint they all

Chorus

Its a lonely ol night

Can I put my arms around you

Its a lonely ol night

Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
