Lyrics for Lonely Ol' Night

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 feeling When you're living 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 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 Girl like me and you Yeah like me and you
