Mr Lonely

You could call him Mr. Lonely 

’Cause that’s the way he feels.

He wants so much to find true love, 

But thinks he never will.

He suffocates in solitude

And he drowns in despair.

He wishes there was someone else 

With which his love to share.

He’s lost in all the loneliness

The world can ever make.

The deaf’ning silence from his house 

Is more than he can take.

He goes to bars and clubs to find 

The woman of his dreams,

But ev’ry lady that he meets

Just isn’t right, it seems.

He’s dying in the doldrums

A single’s life can bring.

He wants to find a special girl

And do that dating thing.

He has been lonely way too long.

He can’t take anymore

Of the deep and dark depression

That’s knocking at his door.

And when he thought that loneliness 

Would be his only fling,

Then piercing through the silence, yes 

The telephone did ring.

Perhaps he has another chance.

There may be hope, you see.

The caller on the other end.

Her name is Tiffany.
