[Verse 1]

We got debutantes and socialites

And mamas from the PTA

We got bachelorettes dressed up in white

And little black dress divorcees

[Pre-Chorus]

Long live the blues

They're keeping me in business

Some wanna dance and some wanna party

Whatever they need, they call me

[Chorus]

Mr. Lonely, Mr. Good-Time

Mr. One-You're-Gonna-Want-On-A-Saturday-Night

When you're lonely, lying in the dark

I'm the number that you know by broken heart

No, I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right-Now

The one all the girls are talking about

The one and only, Mr. Lonely

[Verse 2]

Yeah, some are in from outta town

Just lookin' for some fun

For a couple of hours or more

Yeah, I can be the one

[Pre-Chorus]

Long live the blues

I'm booked up to November

You can find me in the book or on a bathroom wall

When they all want a rendezvous, they call

[Chorus]

Mr. Lonely, Mr. Good-Time

Mr. One-You're-Gonna-Want-On-A-Saturday-Night

When you're lonely, lying in the dark

I'm the number that you know by broken heart

No, I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right-Now

The one all the girls are talking about

The one and only, Mr. Lonely

[Interlude]

Oh, play that steel, Paul

[Bridge]

So if you got a girl, you better treat her right

You better never tell a lie

You better never start a fight

'Cause when she hangs up on you

Guess who's on the other line?

He's never hard to find

[Chorus]

Mr. Lonely, Mr. Good-Time

Mr. One-You're-Gonna-Want-On-A-Saturday-Night

When you're lonely, lying in the dark

I'm the number that you know by broken heart

No, I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right-Now

The one all the girls are talking about

The one and only, Mr. Lonely

The one and only, Mr. Lonely

Long live the blues
