I have a friend, his name is Lonely
He takes good care of me
Fills my ashtrays, empties my mailbox
And keeps me company
We spend a lot of time together
There's lots of things to do
Holding one way conversations
'til quarter after two
Takes me down to places
Where I don't belong
Then he brings me on a shackle
He can tag along
I could leave him by himself
But that would never me
Lonely always needs a friend
And lately it's been me
I have a friend, his name is Lonely
He's always by my side
He borrows all my confidence
And steals all my pride
