Mr. Lonely
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
Never even asked what was on my mind (oh)
It's funny how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you is never enough
This emptiness I feel is too much
You may not understand there's been a change of plans
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need to pack your bags and be out the door
Even though you were there for me
You never cared for me
Before I couldn't see but now I know
Mr. Lonely, I'm in love
I've found a real man and you need to know
And this time you won't be coming back
Cause his love will last
Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now?
Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
Same place, same park, but where were you
I waited, but you never came
That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same
Every word I said, he listened to
Everything he had, I was missin' in you
He's the man I never had before
I won't be needin' you no more
The silence was killin' me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm makin' some changes, changes
I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now
A real man wants to hold me now
It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight babe
