Lyrics

She calls me up, and she 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 playin' softly Some singer's sad sad song He's singin' about standin' 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 feelin' When you're livin' on those in-betweens 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 Hey 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 Yeah 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 Hey
