I Ain't Lonely

I Ain't Lonely © 6/5/1984 Bob Mullany


I ain't lonely, just alone
What you took for rock steady, girl,
Was just a rolling stone
Someday you'll be back
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Then you're gonna be lonely
Not just alone

You're probably thinking that you broke my heart
That's the furthest from the truth that you could be
I planned on leaving you, girl, from the start
So your leaving made things easier for me

I ain't lonely, just alone
What you took for rock steady, girl,
Was just a rolling stone
Someday you'll be back
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Then you're gonna be lonely
Not just alone

I'm sure someday you'll come to see the light
That you lost the best man that you'll ever see
It's already much too late to set things right
Since you never really meant that much to me


I ain't lonely, just alone
What you took for rock steady, girl,
Was just a rolling stone
Someday you'll be back
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Then you're gonna be lonely
Not just alone

Let me set the record straight now that we're through
You ain't the first or best love that I ever met
Nearly all of them were prettier than you
You can bet the farm that I ain't finished yet

I ain't lonely, just alone
What you took for rock steady, girl,
Was just a rolling stone
Someday you'll be back
But I'll be gone, gone, gone
Then you're gonna be lonely
Not just alone
