  • I never thought you'd pick up the phone
    It's Friday night you should be out on the town
    Didn't think you'd be sitting at home all alone like me
    Nothing on TV, nothing to do
    Nothing to keep my mind off you and me
    And the way it was
    Are you thinking 'bout it now because
    I could be there in five
    One more one last time

    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    Need you, want you, I'm right here
    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    I know we shouldn't, but I don't care
    I don't wanna be right, I don't wanna be strong
    I just wanna hold you till the heart breaks stone
    When the sun comes up, we can both move on
    But we don't have to be lonely tonight

    That taste, that touch, the fire I miss
    Those kiss me eyes, your red wine lips, oh my
    I can use to be, baby I want you, and you want me

    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    Need you, want you, I'm right here
    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    I know we shouldn't, but I don't care
    I don't wanna be right, I don't wanna be strong
    I just wanna hold you till the heart breaks stone
    When the sun comes up, we can both move on
    But we don't have to be lonely tonight

    I can be there in five
    One more one last time

    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    Need you, I'm right here
    We don't have to be lonely tonight
    Tonight, tonight, yeah yeah Writer/s: BRENT ANDERSON, RYAN JAMES HURD

  • Joy Lawrence from Vilonia, ArkansasOne of my Favorite songs by “The incredibly talented Blake Shelton, would have to be “Lonely Tonight!” with Ashley Monroe. It speaks to me about a past relationships that ended, and both of us were left with unresolved Feelings. First time I heard it, I cried.. I Love songs like that, that touch me deeply..Blake you are one of the Best at touching my heart!
