You and your baby had some words today
'Till not another word was left to say
I see that grin, boy
Maybe you think you'll win, boy
Until the sun goes down and once again, boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But, oh, those darkest hours can be so long
You're feeling strong, boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong, boy
But how much longer can this night go on, boy?
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind?
You should know she's one of a kind
Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind?
You should know she's one of a kind
Just one lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
'Till not another word was left to say
I see that grin, boy
Maybe you think you'll win, boy
Until the sun goes down and once again, boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But, oh, those darkest hours can be so long
You're feeling strong, boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong, boy
But how much longer can this night go on, boy?
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind?
You should know she's one of a kind
Ooh, she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind?
You should know she's one of a kind
Just one lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you

i think the 'boy' kevin is referring to is a boy who took his girl for granted and treated her bad and she confronted him bout it and left him and at first he didn't believe her, but hten all it took was one lovely night without her to realize how much he really loves her.
This is a classic "lost love" song. Not REO Speedwagon's best, but not a bad song either.
I thought it meant that a guy and girl fought. and He thinks that he is hurting her by being away from each other for one night. He's telling this guy NA UH
It's about heart-break, really sad/beautiful.
Well, it seems that as of late, their original video to this song has been blocked in the US (on YouTube) due to copyright issues... HOWEVER, the original video shows a play on words, as the main character of the story (song) is a KNIGHT in shining armor and he is the "lonely knight"... it was quite cute how they did that and if you haven't seen it, I wished you could. It is my favorite REO Speedwagon song of all time.
