I don't need nobody To call me on the phone I don't need no company I'd rather be alone I'm just happy by myself Here being blue 'Cause 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 Now you're still gone so darlin' There ain't nothing new And I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you I'll just be lonesome Without you here 'Cause there ain't no one I love like you, dear Now thinkin' of you Is all I ever 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 And they'd just give up Before they started if they knew That I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you And I'll just be lonesome Without you here 'Cause there ain't no one I love like you, dear Now thinkin' of you Is all I ever do And I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you I'm not lonely I'm just lonesome for you
