Thoughts of a Lonely Man
Yearning in Solitude: A Lonely Man's Heartache
Lyrics
Tonight when I get through at work I'll just head straight on home
Tonight, after finishing work, the speaker plans to go straight home.
I'll fix a bite and try to eat then I'll pick up the phone
At home, he intends to prepare a meal and then call someone.
I'll try to find out where she went I must know how she's been
He wants to find out the whereabouts of someone important to him and learn about her well-being.
That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man
Expressing the thoughts of a lonely man who is preoccupied with the absence of a loved one.
The mind of a lonely man when he's alone like me
Describing the mental state of a lonely man when he is alone, like the speaker.
All day he counts mistakes he's made all night he counts bad dreams
Throughout the day, he reflects on mistakes, and at night, he is haunted by bad dreams.
I meant to treat my darling right somehow I filled my plans
Acknowledging a failure to treat his beloved properly despite good intentions.
That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man
Reiterating the recurring thoughts of a lonely man filled with regrets.
Tomorrow I'll wake up at six I'll rise without a groan
Planning to wake up early the next day without complaints.
Reachin' at work by eight o'clock just like there's nothing wrong
Committing to reaching work on time as if everything is normal.
If I'll work hard enough maybe the work will help me stand
Hoping that hard work might distract him from the loneliness and emotional pain.
All these thoughts of a lonely lonely man
Summing up the persistent thoughts of a lonely man, emphasizing their impact on his daily routine.
I'm beggin' her my heart keeps smart but it makes sense to me
Expressing a plea to the absent loved one, acknowledging the emotional pain.
Being smart won't help me much if she don't come back to me
Recognizing that intelligence alone may not be enough to win back the loved one.
Oh what I'd give to see her face or touch her gentle hand
Longing to see the loved one's face and feel her gentle touch.
That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man
Reiterating that these are the thoughts of a lonely man, emphasizing the solitude.
That's the thoughts of this lonely lonely man
Repeating the assertion that these are the thoughts of the speaker, underscoring the loneliness.
