You only want me when you're lonely

When no one else wants you, it seems

And even though you call me darlin'

I know I'm never in your dreams



I'm just someone you always turn to

Each time your new love turns you down

You only want me when you're lonely

When there's nobody else around



You only want me when you're lonely

I only see you now and then

And though I'm sayin' I won't forget you

I'm glad when you come back again



Why do I let you fool me, darlin,

The way you break my heart's a crime

You only want me when you're lonely

But, dear, I want you all the time
