Intro: You’re an old friend who hasn’t let me down And tonight I’ll call you and I’ll set this bottle down ’Cause I got the old and lonely sound in my voice tonight You’re the one I need to talk to babe You’re the one to make 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 There’s that old and lonely look in my eyes tonight You’re the one I need babe You’re the one to make it right I got the old and lonely You’re the one and only Staring through this bottle lord Trying 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 to 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 and only Staring through this bottle lord Trying to see the light Instrumental: I let this 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 with me tonight You’re the one that I need babe You’re the one who makes it right I got the old and lonely You’re the one and only Staring through this bottle lord Trying to see the light I’ve been staring through this bottle lord Trying to see the light
