You're lonely and I'm lonely
We're all alone and we're sad
Like two little babes in the wood
But things would not seem so bad
If we weren't quite so good
If we cuddled up as we should
You're lonely and I'm lonely
So why can't we be lonely together
The night is young, and while it grows older
We can forget, crying on each other's shoulder
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely
But soon we'll see a change in the weather
Two lonely hearts, beating as one
Can be miserable and still have a lot of fun
