[Verse 1]
Here I am again doing things I said that I wouldn't do
It's 3 am and I'm rushing out the door to see you
Waiting all day, but now you want to call me
Why do you do this to me all the time?
[Chorus]
After all the things you put me through, still I come right back
But now I know the truth, I can finally see
You only want me when you're lonely
If I say I'm going to leave, that's the only time you want me
Next time you need me there I won't make it
Another late night call I won't take it
Cos now I finally see, you only want me when you're lonely2
[Post-Chorus]
Only when you're lonely, lonely
Only when you're lonely
Only when you're lonely, lonely
Only when you're lonely
[Verse 2]
Had me fooled from the start and I quickly gave my heart
Because I loved you, loved you
But this is what happens when you're a lonely girl
With no one to turn you
Now I'm stronger, don't need you any longer
So get off your knees, your words don't mean anything
[Chorus]
After all the things you put me through, still I come right back
But now I know the truth, I can finally see
You only want me when you're lonely
If I say I'm going to leave, that's the only time you want me
Next time you need me there I won't make it
Another late night call I won't take it
Because now I finally see, you only want me when you're lonely
[Bridge]
Nothing's ever changing, decisions you can't make it
You just think of yourself and never me at all
If you're with your friends, you just string me along
But I won't allow it anymore, so it's time for me to move on
[Chorus]
Because I can finally see, you only want me when you're lonely
If I say I'm going to leave, that's the only time you want me
Next time you need me there I won't make it
Another late night call I won't take it
Cos now I finally see, you only want me when you're lonely
[Post-Chorus]
Only when you're lonely, lonely
Only when you're lonely
Only when you're lonely, lonely
Only when you're lonely
[Chorus]
I can finally see, you only want me when you're lonely
If I say I'm going to leave, that's the only time you want me
Next time you need me there I won't make it
Another late night call I won't take it
Because now I finally see, you only want me when you're lonely
