Lonely Boy Tonight

When all these things you shouldn't have said

Come curling and swirling all through your head

And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

And there's all the things you never learned how to feel

You were going out fishing without a reel

And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

And you're here hoping she'll come back

But you know you let the line run too slack

And you don't know how far away she'll go

And you're left here wondering where she can be

And you're torn in two by your jealousy

You're all wound up about things you'll never know

And so you say that it's only a game

But there's no escaping all of that flame

And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

Then all these things that you shouldn't have said

Come twirling and curling all through your head

And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

And the house is big and empty now

You can't find anything and you don't know how

To cook for yourself, so you just have a drink

Well, it don't help much, if it helps at all

If you had her number you'd try to call

But all you can do is sit down and try to think

But oh, what does it matter anyway

You can always find another any old day

But you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

When all these things you shouldn't have said

Come curling and swirling all through your head

And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight

Oh yes, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
