when you're lonely

I almost didn't answer when I saw your number

Don't you know it's two eighteen in the middle of the night?

Did you fight with your girlfriend? Could you not sleep?

Did a strong shot of whiskey leave you feeling weak?

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down

You only want me when you're lonely

But you can't have me now

I don't know what you expected

Did you think I 'd let you somehow get the best of me
With some pretty little lies?

I've made that mistake, I've let you crawl back in

Now I don' t have the heart to fall for you again

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down

You only want me when you're lonely

But you can't have me now

Don't tell me you love me
Don't say all the right things

You 're having one of those nights

And I know what that means

Oh you want me right now

But nothing's really changed

You were just by yourself
And it's late, too late

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down
You only want me when you 're lonely

But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely...

But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely
But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely
But you can't have me now
