I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet)

(album: Get Behind Me Satan - 2005)

Well I miss my mother, and I miss being her son
As crazy as I was I guess I wasn't much of one
Sometimes I miss her so much I want to hop on the next jet
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

And I love my sister, Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me and she knows I won't forget
And sometimes I get jealous of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

I roll over in bed looking for someone to touch
There's a girl that I know of, but don't ask for much
She's homely, and she's cranky, and her hair's in a net
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

Are you my friend when I need one? I need someone to be one
I take anybody I can get
Sometimes I wanna call you, and I feel like a pest
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

I went down to the river filled with regret
I looked down and I wondered if there was any reason left
I left just before my lungs could get wet
I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

And I love my sister, Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me and she knows I won't forget
Sometimes I get jealous of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
Yeah, I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
