Lonely Ol' Night  (from the album "Scarecrow")
----------------

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 singin about stanin' 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, 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 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 people like me and you

Yeah like me and you
                    

Yeah like me and you
