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 

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 

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 
13dc 
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
