Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

You only want me when you're lonely.
You only want me when you're blue.
It's funny, you never seem to know me,
Whenever there's somebody new.

How can you say that you love me,
When you know your love for me isn't true?
So that's why you always call me when you're blue,
You know I'll come runnin' back to you.

How can you say that you love me,
When you know your love for me isn't true?
So that's why you always call me when you're blue,
You know I'll come runnin' back to you.
