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

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 

You're still gone so darlin' 

there ain't nothing new 

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

Thinkin' of you 

is all I ever do 

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 

They'd just give up 

before they started if they knew 

that 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 

Thinkin' of you 

is all I ever do 

I'm not lonely,

I'm just lonesome for you  

I'm not lonely,

I'm just lonesome for you
