When all these things you shouldn't have said
Come curling and swirling all through your head
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
And there's all the things you never learned how to feel
You were going out fishing without a reel
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
And you're here hoping she'll come back
But you know you let the line run too slack
And you don't know how far away she'll go
And you're left here wondering where she can be
And you're torn in two by your jealousy
You're all wound up about things you'll never know
And so you say that it's only a game
But there's no escaping all of that flame
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Then all these things that you shouldn't have said
Come twirling and curling all through your head
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
And the house is big and empty now
You can't find anything and you don't know how
To cook for yourself, so you just have a drink
Well, it don't help much, if it helps at all
If you had her number you'd try to call
But all you can do is sit down and try to think
But oh, what does it matter anyway
You can always find another any old day
But you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
When all these things you shouldn't have said
Come curling and swirling all through your head
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Oh yes, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
