Just Another Lonely Night

About Just Another Lonely Night

"Just Another Lonely Night" is a 1965 song co-written and co-produced by William "Mickey" Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter. It was recorded by four Motown acts: The Temptations, Brenda Holloway, The Four Tops, and The Fantastic Four. The Temptations first recorded in 1965 for the Gordy (Motown) label. Their version would be released as an album track on The Temptin' Temptations. It features a lead by Paul Williams, one of the group's original lead singers who by then had been eclipsed by David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks as lead even on the group's album tracks and A B-sides. Although Williams still recorded several leads, they were often overlooked for release by the label. Williams and the other Temptations constantly complained about not allowing Williams more leads on album tracks, and singles, but Motown paid them no heed. The Andantes were added for additional backing vocals on the track. Brenda Holloway later covered the song in 1966, and the Four Tops in 1967; the Andantes backed both recordings. In the Tops' case, lead singer Levi Stubbs recorded his lead soon after the Tempts completed their version, and the group (with the Andantes) dubbed backing vocals over the Tempts/Andantes original instrumental and vocal backing track. Joining the Andantes as backing vocals on Holloway's version were the Originals, who were signed to label earlier that year. more »

Morning
(Morning)
Seems to come so slow
Knowing
(Knowing)
How I need this warming glow

Foolishly, I've made you cry
Confident, you never say goodbye
Darling, that's the reason why

That even in a crowd, laughing out loud, I'm lonely
(Lonely)
For I love you only and without you
Every night's just another lonely night

Falling
(Just another)
Tears are falling from my eyes
I'm calling
(Just another)
Out your name, tearful sigh

How I pray it's not too late
All my life for you I wait
Just call me I won't hesitate
For when you left you took the best of me

I love you, can't you see?
Since you've been gone
Every night's just another lonely night

(Just another)
Since you've been gone my life is so lonely, baby, baby
It's just a
(Just another)
Even my sun is hoping

(Just another)
Oh, it's all I need is you only
(Just another)
I'm just no good without you, baby
I'm just a lonely, lonely
