Comments: |
We wrote "Lonely Nights" for Pat Benatar, but if she ever heard it, I don't know.
This was the first song we recorded for Bryan's "You Want It,
You Got It" album. In the summer of 1980, prior to Bob Clearmountain's
involvement, Bryan booked a day at Little Mountain Sound in Vancouver. With
myself on bass and drums, Bryan on guitar, and Bob Rock engineering,
we made an unsuccessful attempt at recording a "basic track". |

Lyrics: | You just don't know what you're saying any more You know beggars can't be choosers - and it's fair We may win, we may be losers I don't care, no, no, no Oh baby, I just can't stand another lonely night So come over and save me Save me from another lonely night I hear every word you're saying - they're all lies But with every breath you're taking You're thinking of ways to say goodnight Oh baby, I just can't stand another lonely night So come over and save me Save me from another lonely night |
