I could tell from the minute I woke up it was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. rise and shine rub the sleep out of my eyes and try to tell myself I can't go back to bed, it's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. even though the sun is shining down on me and I should feel about as happy as can be, I just got here and I already want to leave. it's gonna be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day. everybody knows that something's wrong but nobody knows what's going on. we all sing the same old song, when you want it all to go away, it's shaping up to be a lonely day. I could tell from the minute I woke up it was going to be a lonely lonely lonely lonely day.
