I don't need nobody
to call me on the phone
I don't need no company
I'd rather be alone
I'm just happy by myself
here being blue
I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you
When my friends come,
I don't care if they stay
When they talk to me,
I don't care what they say
You're still gone so darlin'
there ain't nothing new
I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you

I'll just be lonesome
without you here
'cause there ain't no one
I love like you dear
Thinkin' of you
is all I ever do
I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you

Any comfort I find
these days is small
Everybody tries
but nothing helps at all
They'd just give up
before they started if they knew
that I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you

I'll just be lonesome
without you here
'cause there ain't no one
I love like you dear
Thinkin' of you
is all I ever do
I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you
I'm not lonely,
I'm just lonesome for you
