Lonely ol´ Nite Songtext
von John Mellencamp

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 shit was gonna work out this way
No, no, no, no, no (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 (she says I know exactly what he means)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (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
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 (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 (yeah, like me and you)
Ha
