Tonight, oh everything's been leading to tonight I don't want to be alone, it's just not right And misery was the name the lady gave to me I'll just close my eyes, she'll take me And she'll save my life... Let me down easy... Misery, loves company And I will be with her tonight, you'll see And everything that's wrong, will cease to be Oh, lady, misery loves company... And I've been taken in, playing games that I've no Chance to win Left with just the lies I'm living in And every time, I face the questions I once left behind She's got the answers, baby If I got the time Take it or leave it baby... Misery, loves company And I will be with her tonight, you'll see And everything that's wrong, will cease to be Oh, lady, misery loves company... It's plain to see The lady's got her reasons To tell the truth boy I just don't really care All I need is someone Right here beside me Someone here to hide me She's there, she's always there... Misery, loves company And I will be with her tonight, you'll see And everything that's wrong, will cease to be Oh, lady, misery loves company... Misery loves company... Misery loves company... And I said misery she loves company... Misery she loves company... to fade
