Hey up town girl Can you hear this down town song? Wrote a couple of words to tell you Right here is where you belong
I bet you walk the streets Wondering who you’re thinking of Hope you’re looking for someone to hold And not at all in love
And I wonder if you can relate To nights upon my pillow case Eyes wide open middle of the night You’re the last thing on my mind
[Chorus] Only the lonely know Only the lonely know Only the lonely know What nights like these do to me, yeah
I keep asking myself If our hands were meant to be I know this town is busy, But I live on Public Street
We can get out of here If only for just tonight Ride like some Rollin stone That’s forced to waste your life
And I wonder if you can relate To nights upon my pillow case Eyes wide open middle of the night You’re the last thing on my mind
[Chorus] Only the lonely know Only the lonely know Only the lonely know What nights like these do to me
When I’m under (when I’m under) Is it me you’re thinking of? With this light (get on your knees) I pray you’re not at all in love
With someone else (with someone new) With something other than me and you Just wanna be where you are (Just where you are) If ever you’re lonely I won’t be far
Only the lonely know Only the lonely know
Only the lonely know Only the lonely know Only the lonely know What nights like these do to me, yeah
Only the lonely know Only the lonely know Only the lonely know What nights like these do to me
