When Lonely Came To Town

[Verse 1]
When lonely came to town, she showed up at my door
She scattered all her luggage on the floor
She sat down in the kitchen, poured a glass of tea
When lonely came to town to visit me

[Verse 2]
When lonely settled in, she moved from room to room
It was clear she wasn't leavin' soon
From now on, we'd be together night and day
When lonely settled in, she came to stay

[Chorus]
When lonely comes around, there's nothin' you can do
For a while, she's gonna have her way with you
If I'd had any idea she would stay so long
I'd have locked the door, l'd have never left the porch light on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
When lonely comes around, there's nothin' you can do
For a while, she's gonna have her way with you
If I'd had any idea she would stay so long
I'd have locked the door, l'd have never left the porch light on

[Verse 3]
When lonely packs her bags, it won't be soon enough
This house is too small for the both of us
Why did she have to bring along your memory?
When lonely came to town to visit me

[Outro]
When lonely came to town to visit me
