[Verse 1] Lonely at night, Lonely at night— He walks the floor Like a lion in the jungle, Oh, He loves to roar. [Chorus] (Oh) I love you, I love you, Oh baby, I do— But honey, at night You’re an animal, And it’s lonely at night, Lonely at night. [Verse 2] He came to me with flowers, But he was holding a knife. He said, “I could’ve been the best thing That ever happened in your life. I don’t mean to scare you, I don’t mean to fright. But baby, you know— I’m a lion, I’m a lion, I’m a lion.” [Chorus] I love you, I love you, Oh baby, I do— But honey, at night You’re an animal, And it’s lonely at night, Lonely at night, Lonely at night. [Verse 3] It felt good to be free, But I still think of him sometimes. I see him standing at my doorway saying, “Oh, you know, baby… You know, baby, I’m a lion, I’m a lion.” And I said, “No, I don’t need you anymore. No, I don’t need you anymore. No, I don’t need you anymore.” [Chorus] I love you, I love you, Oh baby, I do— But honey, at night You’re an animal, And it’s lonely at night, Lonely at night, Lonely at night, Lonely at night.
