Each night you held me in your arms Still you never did keep me warm Conversation was a waste of time Never even asked what was on my mind (oh) It's funny how I can't recall your touch Spending time alone with you is never enough This emptiness I feel is too much You may not understand there's been a change of plans [Chorus] Mr. Lonely, you gotta go You need to pack your bags and be out the door Even though you were there for me You never cared for me Before I couldn't see but now I know Mr. Lonely, I'm in love I've found a real man and you need to know And this time you won't be coming back Cause his love will last Mr. Lonely, who's lonely now? Two o'clock on a Sunday afternoon Same place, same park, but where were you I waited, but you never came That's when he sat down, but it wasn't the same Every word I said, he listened to Everything he had, I was missin' in you He's the man I never had before I won't be needin' you no more [Chorus] The silence was killin' me It almost got the best of me Now that I've got room to breathe I'm makin' some changes, changes I'm stronger now; I'm wiser now A real man wants to hold me now It's clear to see I'll never be Mrs. Lonely If you think you're lonely now Wait until tomorrow babe If you think you're lonely now Wait until tomorrow babe [Chorus]
