[Verse 1]
You got a stock portfolio, I keep my change in a Dixie cup
You want a dog with a pedigree, I like any skinny thing that wanders up
You got a three-piece attitude, I got a five-piece band
You got a "Save the Whales" bumper sticker and I'm a honky-tonk man
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been goin' your own way and I've been goin' mine
I got to wonder, just what it is
That got me into this
[Chorus]
I must've been lonely too long
Right about the time that you came along
Down right hard-up for any old reason to fall in love
I must've let my weakness get a little strong
I must've been lonely way too long
[Verse 2]
Now it ain't like I'm particular when it comes to love
Wherever my heart leads, I do my level best to back it up
But to a real [?] baby, you're in a league of your own
There ain't nothin' left for me to do
But take my ball and go home
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been goin' your own way and I've been goin' mine
I got to wonder, just what it is
That got me into this
[Chorus]
I must've been lonely too long
Right about the time that you came along
Down right hard-up for any old reason to fall in love
I must've let my weakness get a little strong
I must've been lonely way too long
