Artist/Band: Freedy Johnston
Lyrics for Song: Don't Fall In Love With A Lonely Girl
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Freedy Johnston



You know, I wake up, it's first light

Been sleepin' in my chair all night

Just then, on time

She walks in like everything's fine



Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her



I'd like to make her my wife

But she's never here enough to reply

I should say goodbye

Believe me I have tried and tried and tried and tried and tried



Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her



In the daytime she's like a mannequin

That in the night time can't be found

Man she's out doing things I can't imagine

In an ordinary town



Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her


Don't Fall In Love With A Lonely Girl

Freedy Johnston's "Don't Fall In Love With A Lonely Girl" stands as a defining example of the honky-tonk and country-western styles he helped popularize in the 1930s. Recorded with his signature slide guitar and a lively, rhythmic drive, the track captures the spirited, often melancholic yet upbeat nature of the era's dance halls. Johnston's vocal delivery is characterized by its distinctive twang and emotional depth, perfectly suited to the song's narrative about navigating the complexities of romance and solitude. As a staple of his discography, the recording exemplifies the raw, unpolished authenticity that became central to his legacy in American folk and country music. The song remains a poignant reminder of the genre's focus on personal struggle and the social dynamics of the time.
