[Chorus:] Just call me lonesome Heartbroke and then some 'Cause I ain't got no one Since you've been gone You called me baby Now I've got a new name Don't need my old one Call me lonesome from now on You used to call me, your one and only But now you only call me someone you once knew You were my angel, before some stranger Stole your heart and stole my world when he stole you [Chorus:] I see you with him, and fall apart again Remembering when I was the only man you needed We said forever, We'd be together He came between us and now forever lies in pieces [Chorus:] Don't need my old one Call me lonesome from now on
