Lonely Too Long

You got a stock portfolio

I keep my change in a Dixie cup

You want a dog with a pedigree

I like any skinny thing that wanders up

You got a three-piece attitude

I got a five-piece band

You got a "Save the Whale" bumper sticker

And I'm a honky-tonk man

You've been goin' your own way and I've been goin' mine

I got to wonder, just what it is

That got me into this

I must've been lonely too long

Right about the time that you came along

Down right hard-up for any old reason to fall in love

I must've let my weakness get a little strong

I must've been lonely way too long

Now it ain't like I'm particular

When it comes to love

Wherever my heart leads

I do my level best to back it up

But to a real caretaker baby

In a league on your own

There ain't nothin' left for me to do

But take my ball and go home

You've been goin' your own way and I've been goin' mine

I got to wonder, just what it is

That got me into this

I must've been lonely too long

Right about the time that you came along

Down right hard-up for any old reason to fall in love

I must've let my weakness get a little strong

I must've been lonely way too long

Must've been lonely

You've been goin' your own way and I've been goin' mine

I got to wonder, just what it is

That got me into this

I must've been lonely too long

Right about the time that you came along

Down right hard-up for any old reason to fall in love

I must've let my weakness get a little strong

I must've been lonely way too long

I must've been lonely way too long

Yeah

Must've been lonely, yeah

Must've been lonely way too long

Must've been lonely
