“What’s Up Lonely” personifies loneliness and heartache as a constant companion. It is very reminiscent of Billie Holiday’s “Good Morning Heartache,” though it has more of a pop sound than Holiday’s blues ballad.

[Verse 1]
Blue
I'm getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow, I can't lose, hey
You've been hanging with me everyday
Now you're getting in my way, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you understand me
But don't you think that maybe
It's time to move on?
[Chorus]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone, yeah
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?
Lonely, oh
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I wish you weren't by my side
Can't you find another shoulder?
'Cause I, I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We're both wasting too much time
[Pre-Chorus]
Find someone else to rain on
I'm really gettin' tired of singin' this sad song
[Chorus]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone, yeah
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?
[Bridge]
Don't wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won't be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on
[Interlude]
Gotta go, gotta move on
Gotta go, gotta move on
Just leave me alone
[Chorus]
What's up, lonely? (What's up, lonely?)
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache (Tell me, heartache)
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?
[Interlude]
Gotta go, gotta move on
Gotta go, gotta move on
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only (Baby, yeah)
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take…
Just leave me alone
What's up, lonely?
