John Mellencamp - Lonely Ol 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 Chorus: 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 feeling when you're living on those in-betweens But it's okay Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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
