Mr Lonely from Shattered Dreams by Slocum&Co CD

MR LONELY (Mick Slocum)

They call me Mr Lonely, I know you love me only
But I’m a solo sailor upon a concrete sea
And though I bring you flowers, bring out your special powers
No-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me

They call me Mr Lonely I’m quite relaxed and homely
My shirts are neatly folded, I drink only tea
And you won’t see me cryin’, whilst deep inside I’m dyin’
No-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me

Yes, I’m Mr Lonely the one and only Lonely
I’d like to go for everything, but nothing comes for free
I’m standing tall whenever we’re walking out together
But no-one like Mr Lonely does lonely like me

Yes, I’m Mr Lonely, I’m Mr Lonely
I’m counting backwards from three
I’m Mr Lonely the one and only Lonely and
No-one like Mr Lonely did lonely like me

Now they used to call me lonely, but no more Mr Lonely
I’m now happy as a chappie who’s won a lottery
I think I’m on a winner, I’ll let you know at dinner
‘Cause I think I’m gonna love you for all eternity.
