I saw you with your new friends, you wear them so well
Broken shoes and loose ends, gee you look swell
Me I'm drinking my coffee, and I'm smoking cigarettes
I'm a deputy of habit, I just can't forget

I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car
I'm only lonely after dark
I'm only lonely when I watch my tv
I'm only lonely occasionally

I saw you with your envoy, a consenting adult
Technique in moderation, but vogue to the cult
Me I've got my strangers to exile in the night
I'm guess I'm just addicted to the pain of delight

I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car
I'm only lonely after dark
I'm only lonely when I watch my tv
I'm only lonely occasionally
Occasionally
Occasionally
