"lonely talking" lyrics

If lonely was a person, I'd know it well
'Cause it sees all my weaknesses, all the truth I never tell
Hears all my sad songs, pours another glass of wine
And I know I shouldn't listen, but it gets me every time

When it says, "Call him back, oh, what'll it hurt?
Don't give up the faith, maybe this time it'll work"
Tells me all I wanna hear
Sounds like an old friend
But it's just the lonely talking again

When love came along, lonely moved away
To a couple houses down the street, ya know, just in case
And sure enough, love lifted me up and let me down
And now it looks like lonely's hanging back around

And it says, "Call him back, oh, what'll it hurt?
Don't give up the faith, maybe this time it'll work"
Tells me all I wanna hear
Sounds like an old friend
But it's just the lonely talking again

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm-hmm

Oh, it says, "Call him back, baby, oh, what'll it hurt?
Don't you give up the faith, maybe this time it'll work"
Tells me all I wanna hear
Sounds like an old friend
But it's just the lonely
It's just the lonely talking again
It's just the lonely
