You only want me when you're lonely When no one else wants you, it seems And even though you call me darlin' I know I'm never in your dreams I'm just someone you always turn to Each time your new love turns you down You only want me when you're lonely When there's nobody else around You only want me when you're lonely I only see you now and then And though I'm sayin' I won't forget you I'm glad when you come back again Why do I let you fool me, darlin, The way you break my heart's a crime You only want me when you're lonely But, dear, I want you all the time
