When you ain't nobody

Then nobody ever says goodbye

You don't have someone

To make you laugh

Or make you cry



Wish I were lonely

Just kind of ordinary blue

Wish I were only lonely

Then maybe I'd know what to do

But I'm helpless cuz

I'm lonely for you



I sleep in a bed so empty

It's an emptiness no one can fill

I may have to go on livin

But life without you ain't no thrill



Wish I were only lonely...



Well whoever said it's better to love

And to lose

He ought to be right here in my shoes



Wish I were only lonely...
