Kids Get Lonesome Too
Embracing Solitude: Merle Haggard's Melody on Loneliness
Lyrics
Kids get lonesome too
Kids experience loneliness as well
So this song's just for you
The song is dedicated to children feeling lonely
When you get lonely
Addressing the times when one feels isolated
All ages go insane
All age groups can be driven to madness by loneliness
Even young love causes pain
Even young love can be painful
When you get lonely
Reiterating the theme of loneliness
Bad days come in pairs
Difficult days often come in twos
It's good to know somebody cares
Knowing that someone cares is comforting
When you get lonely
Reinforcing the support needed during lonely times
Kids have bad days too
Children also have challenging days
I wish I could be with you
Expressing a desire to be together during lonely moments
When you get lonely
Reiterating the theme of loneliness
And we're so far apart
Highlighting the emotional distance between individuals
Then you're such a kid at heart
Even in such moments, the person remains youthful at heart
And I love you only
Expressing exclusive love during lonely times
Kids have feelings too
Children also have emotional experiences
Even young hearts break in two
Indicating that even young hearts can be broken by loneliness
When you get lonely
Reiterating the theme of loneliness
When we're so far apart
Emphasizing the impact of physical distance on emotions
Babe, you're such a kid at heart
Endearing expression, likening the person to a child at heart
And I love you only
Reaffirming exclusive love during lonely times
Kids get lonesome too
Repeating the idea that children experience loneliness
And I'm afraid of what you'll do
Expressing fear about the actions someone might take when lonely
When you'll get lonely
Anticipating future lonely moments
