Just Call Me Lonesome

JUST CALL ME LONESOME
(Radney Foster/George Ducas)

Just call me lonesome
Heartbroke and then some
‘Cause I ain’t got no one
Since you’ve been gone
You called me baby
Now I’ve got a new name
Don’t need my old one
Call me lonesome from now on

You used to call me
You’re one and only
But now you only call me someone
You once knew
You were my angel
Before some stranger
Stole your heart and stole my world
When he stole you

So just call me lonesome
Heartbroke and then some
‘Cause I ain’t got no one
Since you’ve been gone
You called me baby
Now I’ve got a new name
Don’t need my old one
Call me lonesome from now on

I see you with him
and fall apart again
Remember when I was
the only man you needed
We said forever
We’d be together
He came between us
and now forever lies in pieces

So just call me lonesome
Heartbroke and then some
‘Cause I ain’t got no one
Since you’ve been gone
You called me baby
Now I’ve got a new name
Don’t need my old one
Call me lonesome from now on

I don’t need my old one
Call me lonesome from now on
