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
