Oh, I had my mother tell me son You have brothers but you're only one She knew what she had to do All my life reaching out for you I believe Lonely boy this time I'm alone on this matter Lonely boy time Well she strut her stuff down Oxford Street She looking like she hadn't eat I tell myself what could go wrong Another tale of the same old song I believe Lonely boy this time Oh, I'm alone on this matter Lonely boy time Early morning starting school Soon became the classroom fool Went to church in my Sunday shoes People talk about my point of view I believe Lonely boy this time I'm alone on this matter Lonely boy time Well a spoonful of white Just to try to get her black I know my baby's gone She makes me blow my stack I believe Lonely boy this time I'm alone on this matter Lonely boy time I'm alone on this matter Lonely boy time
