  • Lonely, I'm Mr Lonely
    I have nobody for my own
    Oh, I'm so lonely
    I'm Mr Lonely
    I have nobody for my own
    Oh, I'm so lonely

    Yo, this one here
    Goes out to all my players out there, man
    You know, that got that one good girl, dog
    That's always been there, man
    Like, took all the bullshit
    But then one day she can't take it no more
    And decide to leave

    Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
    And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
    Could've sworn I was dreamin'
    For her I was feinin'
    So I had to take a little ride
    Backtrackin' on these few years
    Tryna figure out what I do to make it go bad
    'Cause ever since my girl left me
    My whole life came crashin', and I'm so

    Lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own) girl
    Oh, I'm so lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own) girl
    Oh, I'm so lonely

    Can't believe I had a girl like you
    And I just let you walk right out of my life
    After all I put you through
    You still stuck around and stayed by my side
    What really hurt me is I broke your heart
    Baby, you a good girl and I had no right
    I really wanna to make things right
    'Cause without you in my life girl, I'm so

    Lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own) girl
    Oh, I'm so lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own, baby)
    Oh, I'm so lonely

    Been all over the world
    Ain't never met a girl
    That could take the things that you been through
    Never thought the day would come
    Where you would get up and run
    And I would be out chasin' you
    'Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
    Ain't no one in the globe I'd rather see
    Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
    So happy, but now so lonely

    Lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own) girl
    Oh, I'm so lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own, baby)
    Oh, I'm so lonely

    Never thought that I'd be alone
    I didn't think you'd be gone this long
    I just want you to call my phone
    So stop playing girl and come on home (come on home)
    Baby girl I didn't mean to shout
    I want me and you to work it out
    I never wished to ever hurt my baby
    And it's drivin' me crazy, 'cause I'm so

    Lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own) girl
    so lonely (so lonely)
    I'm Mr Lonely (Mr Lonely)
    I have nobody (I have nobody)
    For my own (to call my own, girl)
    Oh, I'm so lonely

    So lonely, so lonely
    Mr Lonely, so lonely
    So lonely, so lonely
    So lonely, Mr Lonely Writer/s: Aliaune Thiam, Bobby Vinton, Gene Allen
