When you ain't got nobody
Then nobody ever says goodbye
You don't have to wait for someone
To make you laugh or make you cryWish I were only lonely
Just kind of ordinary blue
If I were only lonely
Then maybe I'd know what to do
But I'm helpless 'cause I'm lonely for youI sleep in a bed so empty
It's an emptiness no one can fill
I may have to go on living
But life without you ain't no thrillWish I were only lonely
Just kind of ordinary blue
If I were only lonely
Then maybe I'd know what to do
But I'm helpless 'cause I'm lonely for youWell, whoever said it's better
To love and to lose
He ought to be right here in my shoesWish I were only lonely
Just kind of ordinary blue
If I were only lonely
Then maybe I'd know what to do
But I'm helpless 'cause I'm lonely for you, woo
