Only When You’re Lonely Lyrics By The Grass Roots

    only when you’re lonely
    do you come knockin’ at my door
    knowin’ that i’ll be there
    to give you what you’re lookin’ for
    oh when all your so called friends have left you fall

    only when you’re lonely
    do you run to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you come to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you think of me at all

    i’m not kidding myself
    i know just where i fit in your plans
    so don’t you start kidding yourself
    i’m not the fool you think i am
    oh you toy with me
    just like i was your rubber ball

    only when you’re lonely
    do you run to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you come to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you think of me at all

    i don’t mind i don’t mind
    ’cause the time i spend with you is precious to me
    and though it’s true and though it’s true
    i’m being used i’m being used
    oh it’s alright ’cause i like havin’ you around me

    only when you’re lonely
    do you come knockin’ at my door
    knowin’ somehow i’ll be there
    like the too many times i’ve been before
    oh loving you i know is my biggest fault

    only when you’re lonely
    do you run to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you come to me
    only when you’re lonely
    do you think of me at all
