Long Lonely Night
You were the hottest thing in the place tonight.
You were looking good and you were feeling right.
You had the lines and the cool moves.
Now everybody wants to be like you.
But when it’s over, you’re by yourself.
And you’re still wishing you were somebody else.
You turn the radio way up loud,
Pretending to be lost in the crowd
CHORUS:
Cause it’s a long lonely night
After the music and the neon lights.
A long lonely night
When it’s time to go home.
Well you can make it alright,
If you forget about your heart tonight.
(Somebody wants to fill your heart tonight.)
But (Cause) it’s a long lonely night
When you face it alone.
You’ve got a priceless look and a winning smile.
You turn it on and you can drive `em wild.
But when they lock the door and turn out the lights,
How does it feel to be alone tonight.
You love to party and you love to play.
You celebrate to keep the blues away.
But when the laughter isn’t there to help,
You still have to live with yourself
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And in the quiet, you can hear your heart:
One lonely rhythm in the desperate dark.
But if you listen there’s a different song.
And if you sing it
You don’t have to sing it alone
CHORUS
