Lonely People Lyrics & Chords By Bruce Mcculloch

DJ: Yes, caller, go ahead.

Caller: Um... well, my point is, um, how come there's so many lonely people?

DJ: Um... I, I don't understand.

Caller: Well, okay, it's like, like a dance, right? Life is like a dance.

DJ: Sure. That's what the country songs say.

Caller: Um, and why don't those lonely people just pair up? Why don't they just get together? Like I have a boyfriend, and he likes to watch basketball maybe too much, but we have a lovely time and we're, we're, we love each other and we're not lonely. And I think all those, uh, lonely people should just pair up. They should just, uh, get together. 'Cause, like, at a dance, you know, if you're a wallflower, you, you shouldn't be. You know?

DJ: Well, then, maybe it should be sort of like at a dance where you can go up to someone and say, uh, "I see you and your wife cuddling in bed. May I cut in?"

Caller: Well, I, I don't know about that.

DJ: Or maybe, uh, "Excuse me, do you mind if I cut in and open Christmas gifts with your family for a while?"

Caller: I, I don't know about that. Well...

DJ: Or "Excuse me, are you walking down the aisle? May I, may I step in and, uh, marry that bride that you've selected?"

Caller: Um. Uh... Well, anyway, I'm not lonely. And, uh, to all those lonely people out there, and there's sure a lot of them that listen to the radio, uh, pair up.
