You're an old friend who hasn't let me down
And tonight I'll call you and I'll set this bottle down
'Cause I got the old and lonely sound in my voice tonight
You're the one I need to talk to, babe
You're the one to make it right

I've been staring through this bottle at my face on the wall
That stranger in the mirror don't look like me at all
There's that old and lonely look in my eyes tonight
You're the one I need, babe
You're the one who makes it right

I got the old and lonely
You're the one and only
Staring through this bottle, Lord
Trying to see the light

I'd like to write you a letter just as plain as I can
Tell you that I love you but would you understand?
If I called you on the phone would you come to me tonight?
You're the one that I need, babe
You're the one to make it right

I got the old and lonely
You're the one and only
Staring through this bottle, Lord
Trying to see the light

I let this bottle come between us one too many times
It was there to hold on to and it kept you off my mind
But there's that old and lonely look here with me tonight
You're the one that I need, babe
You're the one to make it right

I got the old and lonely
You're the one and only
Staring through this bottle, Lord
And trying to see the light

I've been staring through this bottle, Lord
And trying to see the light
