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
