Lyrics
When I look into your tearful eyes
Expressing observation of tearful eyes, suggesting emotional distress.
I don't know what to do
Feeling uncertain about how to respond to the emotional situation.
And though you say that I don't realize
Acknowledging the partner's claim of not understanding, showing empathy.
I sympathize with you
Expressing sympathy, indicating emotional support.
Lonely you, only you, yes I do
Affirming a sense of loneliness specific to the partner.
Lonely you, only you, lonely you
Reiterating the focus on the partner's loneliness.
When I ask you just to be my friend
Asking to maintain a friendship, demonstrating a desire to help.
I want to lend a hand
Offering assistance and support as a friend.
But if we get too close it's sure to end
Expressing concern that closeness may lead to an end, urging caution.
Oh can't you understand
Appealing for understanding of the potential consequences.
Lonely you, only you, yes it will
Repeating the assertion that the partner's loneliness will persist.
Lonely you, only you, lonely
Reiterating the focus on the partner's exclusive loneliness.
You will really need a friend
Highlighting the partner's need for genuine friendship.
And friends are hard to find
Emphasizing the difficulty in finding true friends.
And harder still to keep
Stating the challenges in maintaining friendships.
Lonely you, lonely me
Reflecting shared loneliness between both individuals.
Lonely you, only you, yes it will
Repeating the prediction of continued loneliness for the partner.
Lonely you, only you, lonely you
Reiterating the exclusive focus on the partner's loneliness.
Lonely you, lonely you
Closing with a final emphasis on the partner's loneliness.
