[Verse 1] When we first met, we'd talk for hours You wore that dress, the one with flowers When you walked in, I saw the rest of my life [Pre-Chorus] Were we pretending, all those nights? Dancing to silence in the moonlight Was it a beautiful waste of time? [Chorus] You only call me to say you miss me When I'm far away from home You only call me to say you want me You only love me when you're lonely, oh [Post-Chorus] (You only love, love me when you're lonely) (You only love, love me when you're lonely) [Verse 2] We keep spinning back around And we always end up here When you mix jealousy with sympathy, oh Whoa, it always ends in tears [Chorus] You only call me to say you miss me When I'm far away from home You only call me to say you want me When you think I'm not alone
You only tell me what I wanna hear When you think that I'm not listening Doesn't matter anyway You only love me when you're lonely, oh [Bridge] True love Doesn't always last forever True love Can't always keep two lovers together Oh, this is true love This is true love, oh [Chorus] Don't call me to say you miss me When I'm far away from home You only call me to say you want me When you think I'm not alone You only tell me what I wanna hear When you think that I'm not listening Doesn't matter anyway You only love me when you're lonely, oh [Post-Chorus] (You only love, love me when you're lonely) (You only love, love me when you're lonely) (You only love, love me when you're lonely) (You only love, love me when you're lonely)
