“A Lonely Night” finds Abel apologizing for making a girl believe they’d ever be anything more than a classic one night stand.
[Intro]
Gassed up, yeah, yeah
Hey
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, hey
[Verse 1]
Why would you wanna bring somethin' between us?
There's nothin' between us, oh, ayy, ayy
Why would you wanna use a life to keep us?
To keep us together, oh woah, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Better when we're both apart (Oh)
Better when we're both apart
We're no good for each other
No good for each other
Better when we're both apart (My baby)
Better when we're both apart
We're no good for each other
[Chorus]
A lonely night
Baby girl, I loved you on a lonely night, oh
It was the only time
And if I led you on, then I apologize
[Verse 2]
How can I make you rethink your decision?
Unruly decision, oh woah, hey (Oh)
What's gonna make you rethink your position?
I know your intentions (I know your intentions), oh woah, oh, hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Better when we're both apart (Oh)
Better when we're both apart
We're no good for each other
No good for each other (No good for each other)
Better when we're both apart (My baby)
Better when we're both apart
We're no good for each other
[Chorus]
A lonely night
Baby girl, I loved you on a lonely night, oh (Ooh woah)
It was the only time
And if I led you on, then I apologize, oh (I apologize)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Let's go)
Better when we're both apart (I'll be)
Better when we're both apart (Oh)
We're no good for each other
No good for each other
Better when we're both apart (Oh, baby)
Better when we're both apart
We're no good for each other, hey
[Interlude]
Woo
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da, oh, ho
[Chorus]
A lonely night
Baby girl, I loved you on a lonely night, oh (Hey)
It was the only time (It was the only time)
And if I led you on, then I apologize, oh (Apologize, woah)
A lonely night
Baby girl, I loved you on a lonely night, oh (Ooh woah)
It was the only time
And if I led you on, then I apologize, oh (Oh)
[Outro]
Baby girl, I loved you
You know I loved you
Know I loved you
Hey, no-no-no-no-no
No-no-no-no-no, ayy
A Lonely Night was written by DaHeala & Belly & Ali Payami & Savan Kotecha & Peter Svensson & Max Martin & The Weeknd.
A Lonely Night was produced by Ali Payami & Max Martin.
The Weeknd released A Lonely Night on Fri Nov 25 2016.
The song is probably inspired by “Something Got Me Started” from Simply Red, since the pre-hook (including the quick vocals saying “Better when we’re both apart") and the back instrumentals during the whole song are very much alike.
