I almost didn't answer

When I saw your number

Don't you know it's 218 in the middle of the night

Did you fight with your girlfriend,

Could you not sleep,

Did a strong shot of whiskey leave you feeling weak?

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now

I don't know what you expected

Did you think I'd let you,

Somehow get the best of me, with some pretty little lies?

I've made that mistake, I've let you crawl back in,

Now I don't have the heart to fall for you again

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now

Don't tell me you love me

Don't say all the right things

You're having one of those nights, and I know what that means

So, you want me right now

But nothings really changed, you're just by yourself

And it's late, too late

You only want me when you're lonely

You only call me when you're down

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now

You only want me when you're lonely,

But you can't have me now
