You and your baby
Had some words today
Til not another word
Was left to say

I see that grin, boy
Maybe you think you'll win, boy
Until the sun goes down
And once again, boy

One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to
Completely break you

They say it's darkest
Right before the dawn
But, oh, those darkest hours
Can be so long

You're feelin' strong, boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong, boy
But how much longer can
This night go on, boy

One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to
Completely break you

One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to
Completely break you

Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind

Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind

Just one lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to
Completely break you
