You're an old friend
who hasn't let me down
And tonight I'll call you
when I sit this bottle down
Cause I got the old and lonely
sound in my voice tonight
And you're the one I need to talk to baby
The one who makes it right
I've been staring through this bottle
At my face on the wall
That stranger in the mirror
Don't look like me at all
Cause there's that old and lonely look
In my eyes tonight
You're the one I need, baby,
you're the one who makes it right
I got the old and lonely,
you're the one and only
Starin' through this bottle,
Lord, tryin' to see the light
I'd like to write you a letter
just as plain as I can
Tell you that I love you,
but would you understand
If I called you on the phone,
would you come and pick it up?
You're the one that I need, babe,
you're the one to make it right
I got me lonely, lonely,
you're the one and only
Staring through this bottle,
Lord, trying to see right around
I let the bottle come between
us one too many times
It was there to hold on to and
it kept you off my mind
But there's that old and lonely
look here in me tonight
You're the one that I need, babe
You're the one to make it right
I got the old and lonely
You're the one an d only
Starin' through this bottle,
Lord
Tryin' to see the light
I've been starin' through this bottle,
Lord
Tryin' to see the light
Oh, great.
