You're Only Lonely

Lyrics: J D Souther
Music: J D Souther

Played by J D Souther with Bob Weir & Wolf Bros during their run of shows in April 2023 at the Guild Theatre, Menlo Park

When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders
And when you're feeling lonely and small
You need somebody there to hold you
You can call out my name
When you're only lonely
Now, don't you ever be ashamed
You're only lonely

When you need somebody around on the nights that try you
Remember I was there when you were a queen
And I'll be the last one there beside you
So you can call out my name
When you're only lonely
Now, don't you ever be ashamed
When you're only lonely

When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders
And when you're feeling lonely and small
You need somebody there to hold you
Ah, you can call out my name
When you're only lonely
Don't you ever be ashamed
When you're only lonely

There's nothing wrong with you
I get lonely, too
It's no crime
Darling, we've got lots of time

When you're only lonely
