Let's Invite Them Over - John Prine, Iris DeMent

I know why you’re lonely

And I know why you’re blue

You’re lonesome to see him

And you long to see her too

We’re not in love with each other

We’re in love with our best friends

So let’s invite them over again

We’ve talked it over and over

And we know it’s not right

We should stay away forever

But we’re lonesome each night

Yes we stay away for a while

But we know in the end

We’ll invite them over again

We’ve talked it over and over

And we know it’s not right

We should stay away forever

But we’re lonesome each night

Yes we stay away for a while

But we know in the end

We’ll invite them over again

Let’s invite them over again
