Lonely

About Lonely

"I Get Lonely" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her sixth album The Velvet Rope (1997). It was written by Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Jackson's then-husband, René Elizondo Jr. It was released in February 26, 1998 by Virgin Records as the album's third single. The track is a departure from Jackson's signature brand of crossover dance-pop and R&B into a pure R&B and soul vibe. Lyrically, it expresses loneliness and the desire for an estranged lover. A remixed version of the song featured American R&B group Blackstreet. "I Get Lonely" became Jackson's eighteenth consecutive top-ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, setting a record as the only female artist to achieve that feat, surpassed only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The song received a BMI Pop Award for "Most Played Song" and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and was later included on Janet's second greatest hits album Number Ones (2009). Its music video, directed by Paul Hunter, received positive reception for its abounding sex appeal. more »

Feeling so alone and deserted
With people standing all around you
Should I trust someone
Should I stay off to myself
Alone with no one to talk to 
It's such a helpless feeling

So any time you feel the need
Call me when your lonely
Cause everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely

So don't isolate yourself
Every time that I come around
A person all alone 
Is an unhappy one
We need somebody near to love us

Someone who cares 
Living life all by yourselves
Impossible to do and I'll be there for you

Anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
Cause everybody needs a friend
And I'll be yours if you are lonely

(And your all alone)

If you're all alone 
And a friend you need 
Like a river flows 
You hurt; I'll bleed
If you trust in me
We can find away
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'cause happiness is oh so hard to find

If your lonely I will be there

So anytime you feel the need 
Call me when your lonely
Cause everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely
