Mr. Lonely

We got debutantes and socialites And mamas from the PTA We got bachelorettes dressed up in white And little black dress divorcees

Long live the blues They're keeping me in business Some women dance, and some women party Whatever they need they call me

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

Yeah, some are in from outta town Just looking for some fun For a couple of dollars or more Yeah, I can be that one

Long live the blues I'm backed up to November You can find me in the book Or on a bathroom wall When they want a rendevouz they call

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

(Oh play that steel Paul)

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? It's never hard to find

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
