The Black Keys - Lonely Boy Lyrics

The Black Keys Lyrics

"Lonely Boy"

Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Hey!

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

The opening track and the lead single from the album, it was released on the 26th of October 2011.

The music video for this single is a one-shot clip of a man dancing and lip-synching to the lyrics.

The music video originally included more than 40 people. Dan Auerbach explained, "...they sent us the edit and it was awful. We sent it back. They sent us another edit and it was terrible. That's when we said, 'What about that one guy, the extra who had that one dance scene?', and that's the video – the most expensive single shot ever recorded."

"Lonely Boy" topped several rock-radio charts, including the Alternative Songs and Rock Songs charts in the USA, and the Alternative Rock and Active Rock charts in Canada. It is one of the most-successful singles of the band.

The song won awards for "Best Rock Performance" and "Best Rock Song" at the 55th annual Grammy Awards in 2013.
