[Verse 1]
So he started out taking you out
Doing what any man would do
Saying any and everything to just get with you
I can't say I blame him for a girl as fine as you
So he played you out, ain't no doubt
He was running game on you
After all the fun, he was through with you
Any way that it goes down, girl
He's the one that's gonna lose

[Chorus]
Don't cry, lonely girl
If you need somebody, girl
I know you feel deserted
And you can't find your way back home
I will show you, girl
The way that love should feel
You ain't supposed to be hurting
And you don't have to be alone

[Verse 2]
It was hard enough growing up
Being as beautiful as you
Tryna save your love for the one that's true
It's not always so easy to know what's right to do
It's your first mistake, you can't make
Make someone be down with you
Why do you even take the time out to call that fool
When you know deep in your heart that he don't care about you
[Chorus]
Don't cry, lonely girl (Don't cry, lonely girl)
If you need somebody girl (Somebody, girl)
I know you feel deserted (Deserted)
And you can't find your way back home
(Oh, can't find your way back home)
I will show you, girl (I will show you, girl)
The way that love should feel (Yeah)
You ain't suppose to be hurting, baby
And you don't have to be alone

[Bridge]
And ooh, you can dry your eyes
Pick yourself up and say bye-bye
(Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye)
And ooh, spread your wings and fly
You don't have to hear another lie
Just so long as you know
The world is waiting there for you, it's yours
It's all yours
(Don't cry)

[Chorus]
Don't cry, lonely girl
If you need somebody, girl
I know you feel deserted (Oh yeah, yeah)
And you can't find your way back home (Hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo)
I will show you, girl (And I'll show you, girl)
The way that love should feel (Yeah)
You ain't supossed to be hurting (I know)
And you don't have to be alone (Say that you're lonely)
Don't cry, lonely girl (Say that you're sad)
If you need somebody, girl (I know, baby)
I know you feel deserted (Said I know)
And you can't find your way back home
(That you can't find your way back to the base)
I will show you, girl
The way that love should feel
You ain't supossed to be hurting (I know)
And you don't have to be alone (You don't have to be alone)
Don't cry, lonely girl
