Intro: verse 1 Was it the right place or the wrong time She came to me with her arms open wide Said I looked like some boy she used to know She had diamonds in her ears, diamonds 'round her neck A glass of wine and a white cotton dress What a woman like her could do to my soul She's only lonely, I must be the only foolish kid in this town I should know better, yeah I should forget her 'Cause Lord knows that she will bring me down She's only lonely verse 2 Maybe it's her voice, or her smile, and I would follow her for miles Only to be left out in the cold She's only lonely, I must be the only foolish kid in this town I should know better, yeah I should forget her 'Cause Lord knows that she will bring me down She's only lonely Bridge And I suppose that I should know lonely girls just come and go Passin' their time with fools like me, fools like me She's only lonely, I must be the only foolish kid in this town I should know better, yeah I should forget her 'Cause Lord knows that she will bring me down She's only lonely
