Eric Johnson
Mr. Lonely [Original Version]
Each night you held me in your arms
Still you never did keep me warm
Conversation was a waste of time
You never even asked what was on my mind
It's funny, how I can't recall your touch
Spending time alone with you, will 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 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, 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 missing in you
He's the man, I never had before
I won't be needing you no more
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need 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?
The silence was killing me
It almost got the best of me
Now that I've got room to breathe
I'm making 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 my babe, my baby, my babe
If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight my babe
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need 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?
Mr. Lonely, you gotta go
You need 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
