Lyrics

lonely blue paula mcmath

(verse 1)
well I really do hope
that this ain't no joke
'cause I really can't cope
with another bloke
sayin' he don't know
where he's gonna go
to make it

and I really can't sink
to another wink
from a fickle fink
with a kitchen sink
lookin' for a link
'cause I really don't think
I can take it

(chorus)
and you won't look me in the eye
oh, you look out at the sky
you say it's such a lonely blue
well, I'm lonely too

(verse 2)
and you give me flack
for what you lack
and you tell me jack
but I remember that
we had a pact
you said you're gonna come back
tomorrow

but you make me wait
no matter what you say
and you say you flaked
when you're on the make
and I really can't hang
with the whole damn thang
today

(chorus)
and you won't look me in the eye
oh, you look out at the sky
you say it's such a lonely blue
well, I'm lonely too yeah
I'm lonely too

(bridge)
and it ain't in what you say
and it ain't in what I say to you
no, it ain't in what you say
it's all in what you do

(verse 3)
and I know I'll cry
or you and I
though I don't know why
'cause I really have tried
to listen to your noise
but I have a choice
this time

and there comes a cost
for what you toss
can't be what it was
it never does
when love is lost
'cause I know you've crossed
the line

(chorus)
and you won't look me in the eye
oh, you look out at the sky
you say it's such a lonely blue
well, I'm lonely too yeah
I'm lonely too
I'm lonely too
