Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to live in a two-room apartment

Neighbors knockin' on my wall

Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it

I don't miss it much at all

[Verse 2]

Oh, yeah, I'm alright

I just feel a little lonely tonight

I'm okay, most of the time

I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Verse 3]

Well I used to need your love so badly

Then I came to live with it

Lately I get a faraway feeling

And the whole thing starts again

[Verse 4]

Oh, yeah, I'm alright

I just feel a little lonely tonight

I'm okay, most of the time

I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Verse 5]

Well, I used to need your love so badly

Then I came to live with it

Lately I get a faraway feeling

And the whole thing starts again

[Verse 6]

Oh, yeah, I'm alright

I just feel a little lonely tonight

Listen I'm okay, most of the time

I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Verse 7]

Oh, yeah, I'm alright

I just feel a little lonely tonight

Listen I'm okay, most of the time

I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Verse 8]

I'm lonely tonight

I'm lonely tonight

I'm lonely tonight
