Don't need nobody to call me on the phone
Don't need no company I'd rather be alone
I'm just happy by myself here being blue
I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you
When my friends come I don't care if they stay
When they talk to me I don't care what they say
You're still gone so darling there ain't nothing new
I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you
I'll just be lonesome without you here
Cause there ain't no one that I love like I do you dear
Thinking of you is all I want to do cause I'm not lonely
I'm just lonesome for you
Any comfort I find these days is small
Everybody tries but nothing helps at all
They'd just give up before they started if they knew
I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you
I'm just better off alone here being blue
Cause I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you
