J.D. Souther You're Only Lonely written by J.D.Souther Waddy Wachtel guitar Don Grolnick piano Kenny Edwards bass Rick Marotta drums Danny Kortchmar guitar Dan Dugmore guitar When the world is ready to fall On you're little shoulders And when you're feeling lonely and small You need somebody there to hold 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 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 be ashamed When you're only lonely You're only lonely you're only lonely You're only lonely you're only lonely When the world is ready to fall On you're little shoulders And when you're feeling lonely and small You need somebody there to hold you So don't you ever be ashamed When you're only lonely Doll you can call out my name When you're only lonely It's no crime darling we got lots of time You're only lonely you're only lonely There's nothing wrong with you I get lonely too You're only lonely you're only lonely You're only lonely So if you need me all you gotta do is call me You're only lonely From J.D.Souther "You're Only Lonely" Columbia Records 1979
