I Wish I Were Only Lonely

When you ain't nobody
Then nobody ever says goodbye
You don't have to wait for someone
To make you laugh
Or make you cry

(CHORUS)
Wish I were lonely
Just kind of ordinary blue
If 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

(CHORUS)

(bridge)
Whoever said it's better
To love and to lose
He ought to be
Right here in my shoes

(CHORUS)
