[Verse 1]

I've been in and out of love

More times than I would care to count

Sometimes I get a little drunk

I end up sleeping on the ground

Sometimes I talk too much

And I got nothing to say

Hey

[Pre-Chorus]

I was here before you

And I'll be here when you're gone

It keeps on moving, on and on

[Chorus]

'Cause I am lonely

For your lonely eyes

I can't be the only

Soul alone tonight

I want you to show me

What it means to be alive

[Verse 2]

I tend to keep to myself

I don't like to mingle in the crowd

I always play the same records

Sometimes I turn them up too loud

Sometimes I don't listen to what you're saying

'Cause every word sounds like a shout

[Pre-Chorus]

I was here before you

And I'll be here when you're gone

I wonder where you are

[Chorus]

'Cause I am lonely

For your lonely eyes

I can't be the only

Soul alone tonight

I want you to show me

What it means to be alive

[Bridge]

I know we got each other

And that's so hard to find

A barely loving lover

Gets heavier with time

And all we do is turn water into wine

But we'll always have our lonely minds

[Outro]

'Cause I am lonely

Yeah, I am lonely
