The Grassroots
Only When You’re Lonely
[Verse 1]
Only when you're lonely
Do you come knockin' at my door
Knowin' that I'll be there
To give you what you're lookin' for
Oh, when all your so-called friends have left you fall

[Chorus]
Only when you're lonely
Do you run to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you come to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you think of me at all

[Verse 2]
I'm not kidding myself
I know just where I fit in your plans
So don't you start kidding yourself
I'm not the fool you think I am
Oh, you toy with me just like I was your rubber ball

[Chorus]
Only when you're lonely
Do you run to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you come to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you think of me at all
[Bridge]
I don't mind (I don't mind)
'Cause the time I spend with you is precious to me
And though it's true (And though it's true)
I'm being used (I'm being used)
Oh, it's alright 'cause I like havin' you around me

[Verse 3]
Only when you're lonely
Do you come knockin' at my door
Knowin' somehow I'll be there
Like the too many times I've been before
Oh, loving you I know is my biggest fault

[Chorus]
Only when you're lonely
Do you run to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you come to me
Only when you're lonely
Do you think of me at all
