Don't be surprised, when you see me 'round town
Walking around, with my head hung down
So lonely, I'm so lonely
And don't be surprised, if you see me on the train
Like a homeless man, who's lost his way
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
On this cold pavement, I feel like laying
In the middle of the street, and just saying
I can't take it, I won't make it
Too much weight on my shoulders, and my kids are getting older
For so long, I've been so strong
I've been crying all week, since you've been gone
And as tears roll out my eyes
Another happy young couple walks by
Don't be surprised, when you see me 'round town
Walking around, with my head hung down
So lonely, I'm so lonely
And don't be surprised, if you see me on the train
Like a homeless man, who's lost his way
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
Someone been sleeping in my bed, eating my food
Using my soap, laying up in my pool
Walking around in his boxers, like everything's cool
Gassing my chick for the whip, dropping her off at school
Under my covers, and changing my channels
Playing my CD's in my robes, another man's burning my candles
My cologne's halfway gone, a fake don, my wiz fell for
Now she strolls the park under his arm
This is my fault, I never thought I'd see this coming
From the outside bugging, with crazy knots in my stomach
Say what goes around, comes around, now I know it now
Now I'm the fool looking in, while it's going down
If somebody would of told me, I might be lonely
Now it's on me, baby call me please
Don't be surprised, when you see me 'round town
Walking around, with my head hung down
So lonely, I'm so lonely
And don't be surprised, if you see me on the train
Like a homeless man, who's lost his way
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
Now he's getting all my kisses, stroking my loving
That 'posed to be me, but I was too stupid and stubborn
Like a piece of rope, I let it go, my mother said it so
You better straighten up, don't act like you didn't know
Her birthday came, heard she was hugged up, wearing his chain
Playing the Skybox, that's some bullshit Knick game
My son said, "Daddy, he like his eggs well done"
And he kinda cool, mommy happy, I can't front
He take us on trips, and clothes shopping
Most of the time, we watch flicks, on your surround sound
He watch boxing, you better go vague or something
Before she go love him, he's taking your spot
Cause you was dissing, mommy you bugging
They don't argue, he send her flowers for no reason
She's cheesing, I'm wishing you could come back and see this
Don't be surprised, when you see me 'round town
Walking around, with my head hung down
So lonely, I'm so lonely
And don't be surprised, if you see me on the train
Like a homeless man, who's lost his way
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
