Every other night at the end of the bar

Lookin' like lookin' like a movie star

It's always party time

Late night, lighting up a cigarette

Sittin' here sending out a million texts

I can read between the lines.

Yeah, you keep your guard up so you don't get hurt

Love ain't nothing but another dirty word

Wipe the smile off your lips

When the clock on the wall

Don't say, "last call,"

But it's later than you think it is.

When the lonely lets you down

And you need me to come around

3 a.m. feelin' lost without a friend

Ain't no place to be found

When the lonely lets you down.

Every now and then, just stare into space

I don't wanna be another look on your face

I know just how you feel

Tired of foolin' these fools

With your make believe cool and

Wishing you were holding onto something real.

When the lonely lets you down

And you need me to come around

3 a.m. feelin' lost without a friend

Ain't no place to be found

When the lonely lets you down

(When the lonely lets you down)

Gonna want me around

Yeah, you're gonna want me around.

3 a.m. ain't the kinda friend you wanna wrap your arms around.

When the lonely lets you down

And you need me to come around

3 a.m. feeling lost without a friend

Ain't no place to be found

When the lonely lets you down (when the lonely)

When the lonely lets you down (when the lonely)
