The city's on fire, and girls gettin' hotter
I'm faded on liquor, you all I can picture
Don't leave when I'm with you but can't be without you
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 me, don't marry, 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 (Yeah)
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"

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
She said, "I love you"
Oh what a lonely night (Ooh, ooh, baby)
Oh what a lonely night (Ooh, ooh, yeah)

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
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"

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
