I know why you're lonely and I know why you're blue You're lonesome to see him and you long to see her too We're not in love with each other we're in love with our best friends So let's invite them over again We've talked it over and over and we know it's not right We should stay away forever but we're lonesome each night Yes, we stay away for a while but we know in the end We'll invite them over again We've talked it over and over and we know it's not right We should stay away forever but we're lonesome each night Yes, we stay away for a while but we know in the end We'll invite them over again
