[Verse]
At night, when everything is quiet
This old house seems to breathe a sigh
Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring
Sometimes I hear a baby cry
Sometimes I hear a staircase creaking
Sometimes a distant telephone
And then the quiet settles down again
The house and I are all alone

[Chorus]
Lonely house, lonely me
Funny, with so many neighbors
How lonely it can be
Oh, lonely street, lonely town
Funny, you can be so lonely
With all these folks around
I guess there must be something
I don't comprehend
Sparrows have companions
Even stray dogs find a friend
That night for me is not romantic
Unhook the stars and take them down
I'm lonely in this lonely house
In this lonely town
[Outro]
Mmm, ooh
Mmm, ooh
Ooh, mmm
Mmm
