Seems that I've been cheated, I know I've been deceived 

 By a man I called my lover and a lady I called friend 

 Mmm, and now I'm feelin' down right lonely boy 

 I sure could use a friend 

 

 Misery loves company, I'm in misery tonight 

 Misery loves company, I need a friend tonight 

 

 Well, it's true I don't know you well 

 And I know I should not intrude 

 But you're looking more than sad yourself 

 Or could it be your heart is breaking 

 

 They say misery loves company, I'm in misery tonight 

 Misery loves company, I need your hand tonight 

 Oh reach out and help me boy 

 

 Well, it's true I don't know you well 

 And I know I should not intrude 

 But you're looking more than sad yourself 

 Or could it be your heart is breaking 

 

 They say misery loves company, I'm in misery tonight 

 Misery loves company, would you stay the night 

 Would you stay with me 

 Oh would you stay with me boy
