The city's on fire, and girls gettin' hotter
I'm faded on liquor, you're all I can picture
Lonely when I'm with ya, but can't be without ya
Waitin', I'm waitin', I keep on waitin'
My baby gon' drive me crazy, baby gon' drive me insane
'Cause she can
My baby won't call out my name, baby don't care about me
'Cause she can
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you"
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you, but not the way you do"
I made the decision to keep my heart hidden
But my lips were slippin', I told you everything
You blame it on Mary, never said you were sorry
You broke me to pieces, broke me to pieces
My baby gon' drive me crazy, baby gon' drive me insane
'Cause she can
My baby won't call out my name, baby don't care about me
'Cause she can
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you"
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you, but not the way you do"
She said "I love you"
Oh what a lonely night (ooh, ooh, baby)
Oh what a lonely night (ooh, ooh, yeah)
When the night came to an end
You called me your best friend
You said it was lovely, but you never loved me
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you"
Oh what a lonely night, oh what a lonely night
She said "I love you, but not the way you do"
