Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, she said, "It's cold outside" and she hands me my raincoat

She's always worried 'bout things like that

Well, she said, "It's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault"

And she only sleeps when it's rainin'

And she screams and her voice is strainin'

[Chorus]

And she says, "Baby

It's 3 AM, I must be lonely"

When she says, "Baby

Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it"

[Verse 2]

Well, she's got a little bit of somethin' and, God, it's better than nothin'

And in her color portrait world, she believes that she's got it all, oh

She swears the Moon don't hang quite as high as it used to

And she only sleeps when it's rainin'

And she screams and her voice is strainin'

And she screams

[Chorus]

And she says, "Baby

When it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"

Well, yeah, when she says, "Baby," ah yeah, yeah

"Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe, yes"

[Verse 3]

Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to

And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days

She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, yeah

But outside, it's stopped rainin'

[Chorus]

Yeah, but she says, "Baby

Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"

Yeah, when she says, "Baby," ah yeah, yeah

"Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes

And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this

Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"

I must be lonely

Well, yeah, when she says, "Baby

Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes"
