Only buy this if you're lonely
   Only listen if you're blue
   If you are married and you are happy
   This song is not to do with you
  
   If you're listening at your work place
   Feeling small amongst the men
   Do not sing this to your workmates
   This song is not to do with them
   But if you're sitting on a barstool
   Wondering what on earth to do
   Don't let them tell you no-one cares
   This songs one especially for you
  
   If you are listening on your radio
   Smiling while you drive along
   Tune the band into another
   Because this song is not your song
  
   If you're working as a DJ
   Leave this record in it's sleeve
   Cause this ones not for general airplay
   This song's for the day she leaves
  
   If you've bought this and you're sinking
   And I think that you know who
   It matters not the mouth that's singing
   This song's one especially for you
  
   So this goes out to the lonely
   So this goes out to the sad
   And it goes out to the only
   One you felt you ever had
  
   If you're there in total darkness
   With a letter in your hand
   Do not bother with the letter
   lust listen to the band
  
   So only buy this if you're lonely
