If Only You Were Lonely
Lonely Nights, Neon Lights: Trace Adkins' Yearning Melody
Lyrics
Friday, neon
Setting the scene on a Friday night with vibrant neon lights.
Cold beer, got one
Having a cold beer in hand.
If only
Expressing a desire or wish for someone to be lonely.
You were lonely
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
Barstool, good band
Describing a barstool and the presence of a good band.
All night no plans
Spending the entire night without specific plans.
If only
Repeating the desire for the person to be lonely.
You were lonely
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
Yeah, if only you were lonely tonight
Expressing the hope that the person is lonely tonight.
I could call you up, baby you just might
Suggesting the possibility of calling the person and them being open to it.
Take one more last chance on me
Encouraging the person to take another chance on the speaker.
Girl, if only
Repeating the desire for the person to be lonely.
You were lonely
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
Airplanes, Vegas
Mentioning airplanes and Vegas, implying a desire for excitement and adventure.
Good time just waitin'
Anticipating a good time in Vegas.
If only
Repeating the wish for the person to be lonely.
If only you were lonely
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
If only you were lonely right now
Expressing the desire for the person to be lonely at the present moment.
And I said all the right things somehow
Claiming to say all the right things to win the person over.
Like baby, you still own me
Stating that the person still has emotional power over the speaker.
If only
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
You were lonely
Repeating the desire for the person to be lonely.
Oh, if only you were lonely enough
Expressing a wish for the person to be lonely enough to let the speaker in.
To let me in if I showed up
Hoping that the person would take another chance if the speaker showed up.
And take one more last chance on me
Encouraging the person to take one more last chance on the speaker.
Oh, if only
Repeating the desire for the person to be lonely.
Friday (friday), neon (neon)
Repeating the setting on a Friday night with neon lights.
Cold beer (cold beer), got one
Reiterating the act of having a cold beer.
If only
Repeating the desire for the person to be lonely.
You were lonely
Reiterating the wish for the person to be lonely.
Barstool, good band

If only, only, baby

If only you were lonely
