You asked me if there was someone else
And I said "no, but I must get back
to myself"
Now I'm all alone in an empty bed
I watch the phone while the TV rings
in my head
And the truth talks to me like a friend
And I hate it 'cause€ I'm back in love again

Oh, lonely nights
Will they ever let me go?
Oh, it don't seem right
that I didn't have sense to know
The lonely nights
Would eat me up alive
How I'd have to fight
Without you to survive

That I'd achieve much more being free
Is something that I honestly believed
I guess that all you gave me went ignored
As I just went on expecting you to
Give more
And now I need you back just like
The man
Who laid down his cards before
He checked his hand

Oh, lonely nights
Will they ever let me go?

Oh, it don't seem right
That I didn't have sense€ to know
The lonely nights
Would eat me up alive
How I'd have to fight
Without you to survive

I want you back in my life
Oh, take me back in your world tonight

Lonely nights
Will they €ever let me go?
Oh, it don't seem right
That I didn't have sense to know
The lonely nights
Would eat me up alive
How I'd have to fight
Without you to survive
