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
