Paul WesterbergAbout
One of the Mats' best songs, this criminally ignored number shows Westerberg’s vulnerability while also revealing an oft-overlooked comic side.
It was first released as a b-side to the band’s first single, I’m in Trouble, in 1981 and also features on the rare 1986 EP Boink!! and on the 2008 deluxe...
If Only You Were Lonely Lyrics
Well, I walked out of work and I was tired as hell
Another day come and gone, oh well
Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it
Well, I ordered a scotch as I bust through them doors
Spilled half on my jeans, the other half on the floor
When I saw you standing by that video game
Well, I ain't very good but I get practice by myself
Forgot my one line so I just said what I felt
If only you were lonely
If only you was lonely too
If only you was lonely
I'd go home with you
Twenty push-ups this morning, that was half of my goal
Tonight I'll be doin' pull ups on the toilet bowl
And somewhere there's somebody's a-throwin' up
Well, I broke the seal on my door and I poured myself to bed
The whirlpool spinning around in my head
There was liquor on my breath, you were on my mind
And I'll be dreamin' of that smile
Without a care in the world
If only you were lonely
If only you was lonely
If only you were lonely
I walked out of the kitchen, I was tired as hell
Another day's here, oh well
Somewhere there's a smile with my name on it
