If Only You Were Lonely

Replacements · Boink!! [1986]

I walked out of work

And I was tired as hell

Another day come and gone, oh well

Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it



Well, I ordered a scotch as I bust through them doors

Spilled half on my jeans

The other half on the floor

When I saw you standing by that video game



Well, I ain't very good

But I get practice by myself

Forgot my one line

So I just said what I felt



If only you were lonely

If only you was lonely too

If only you was lonely

I'd go home with you



Twenty push-ups this morning

That was half of my goal

Tonight I'll be doin' pull-ups on the toilet bowl

And somewhere there's somebody a-throwin' up



Well, I broke the seal on my door

Poured myself to bed

The whirlpool spinning around in my head

There was liquor on my breath

You were on my mind



And I'll be dreamin' of that smile

Without a care in the world

If only you were lonely

If only you was lonely too

If only you were lonely



I walked out of the kitchen

I was tired as hell

Another day's here, oh well

Somewhere there's a smile with my name on it
