[Verse 1]
They call me Mrs. Lonesome
I'm not the kind who likes to change
Now we we got numbers we're dividing
Since I found that he was hiding
A garter belt inside his case

[Verse 2]
You may be cheap, you may be wholesome
You may be ignorant as sin
You might have bought the lies he's selling
Maybe kissed, but he's not telling
Maybe you've been taken in.

[Chorus]
Big city girls who dream they'll take my place
Are no better than the tramps who slap his face.
They call me Mrs. Lonesome,
And there you go but for the grace of god.
You said you wouldn't but you knew you would.
So don't think you're Mrs. Lonesome;
You're not bad enough to be that good.
You're not bad enough to be that good.

[Verse 3]
I fell for Mr. Lonesome.
A puppy dog inside a snake.
He hadn't shaved. He hadn't eaten.
He took a dive. He took a beating.
I thought my stupid heart would break.
[Verse 4]
They call me Mrs. Lonesome.
And other names too cruel to say.
They said he helped but I was needin'
And he was wild and I was bleeding,
And he simply walked away.

[Chorus]
Big city girls who dream they'll take my place
Are no better than the tramps who slap his face.
They call me Mrs. Lonesome,
And there you go but for the grace of god.
You think you're different but you're really not.
So don't think you're Mrs. Lonesome;
You're not bad enough to be that good.
You're not bad enough to be that good.
You're not bad enough to be that good.
You're not bad enough to be that good.
They call me Mrs. Lonesome...
