Joel Corry: Lonely

L-l-l-l-lonely, l-l-l-l-lonely
L-l-l-l-lonely now

You were the one who said it's over
Now you wanna come back
So take your hand off my shoulder
This time it's not like that, 'cause I know where your heart's at

I know you like to be alone, but hate being lonely
When you see me doing well, that's when you call me
Now I'm doing fine, don't need you in my life
I guess you're missing me now

Just because you're lonely, doesn't mean we go back to the start
Just because you're lonely, don't mean that you can play with my heart
Who do you think you are?
Just because you're lonely, doesn't mean we go back to the start
Just because you're lonely, don't mean that you can play with my heart
Who do you think you are?

You say you've changed and you're different
But I don't wanna hear that
Your friends are saying that you miss me
But I don't really know that, 'cause I know where your heart's at

I know you like to be alone, but hate being lonely
When you see me doing well, that's when you call me
Now I'm doing fine, don't need you in my life
I guess you're missing me now

Just because you're lonely, doesn't mean we go back to the start
Just because you're lonely, don't mean that you can play with my heart
Who do you think you are?

L-l-l-l-lonely, l-l-l-l-lonely
L-l-l-l-lonely now
L-l-l-l-lonely, l-l-l-l-lonely
L-l-l-l-lonely now

You don't have to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You can speak your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
You don't have to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You could've been mine, mine, mine, mine, mine

Just because you're lonely, doesn't mean we go back to the start
Just because you're lonely, don't mean that you can play with my heart
Who do you think you are?

L-l-l-l-lonely, l-l-l-l-lonely
L-l-l-l-lonely now
L-l-l-l-lonely, l-l-l-l-lonely
L-l-l-l-lonely now
Just because you're lonely

Interpretation of Lonely

In this song by Joel Corry the narrator tells us about an egoistical woman who has played with his emotions. She does not really need him as she “like[s] to be alone, but hate[s] being lonely”. So she needs him just to be able to say that she is in a relationship with somebody and perhaps this woman has not been interested in spending a lot of time with him. After they had separated, the girl felt lonely, but in the male narrator’s opinion it is too late for her to return to him as he does not need a superficial relationship. He cannot forgive her even if he knows that she could have changed, that means that she has seriously hurt his feelings.
