if you think you're lonely now
Singer:bobby womack
i wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers tonight
and i expect that might be the whole world
because everybody needs something or someone to love
when it's cold outside who are you holding?
if y'all don't mind i'd like to talk about this woman of mine
she's always complainin' 'bout me never bein' at home
she's tellin' me about the things that her girlfriend's got
what she ain't got and she wants me to go out and get 'em for her
i can't be in two places at one time
if you think you're lonely now
and you'll find another man that'll treat you right
when i ain't there to rub your back
just remember i made it a long fact
and it's gotta just come out of the closet
and chase you all around your room
and the memories sail 'round like a ghost
and that's a matter of fact
if you think you're lonely now
and you'll never find another man that'll treat you right
you think you're lonely now
ain't it funny how the tables turn
when things aren't goin' your way?
but when love runs out and the pain walks in
i feel like i wanna testify
if you think you're lonely
you just wait until tonight
you see tonight's the night when the needs come out
when your needs come out to breathe
and you toast the stars and there ain't now way you can sleep
if you think you're lonely now
i feel like i wanna testify this evenin'
'cause i know i gotta leave you
i just can't take no more
if you think you got problems now
you say you're a little lonely
but everybody needs somebody to love
it's good that you know that you got somebody that'll stand by your side
that'll build you up when you're fallin' down
if you think you're lonely now
tired of this same old stuck in the hour
you could start all over again
you think you could start it just one more time
