[Verse 1]

E
We got debutantes and socialites
A                           E
And mommas from the PTA
E
We got bachelorettes dressed up in white
A                       E
And little black dress divorcees

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Long live the blues
A                           E
They're keeping me in business
B
Some want to dance, some want to party
A
Whatever they need they call me

[Chorus]
(Riff E and A are played throughout chorus)
E
Mr. Lonely, Mr. Goodtime
E
Mr. One-you're-going-to-want-on-a-Saturday-night
A
When you're lonely, lyin' in the dark
E
Well, I'm the number that you know by broken heart
B
No I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right-Now
A
The one all the girls are talking about
E
The one and only, Mr. Lonely

[Verse 2]
E
Yeah some are in from outta town
A                           E
Just looking for some fun
E
Order a couple of bottles or more
A                           E
Yeah, I can be the one

[Pre-Chorus]
E
Long live the blues
A                           E
I'm backed up til November
B
You can find me in the book, or on a bathroom wall
A
When they all want a rendezvous, they call

[Chorus]
(Riff E and A are played throughout chorus)
E
Mr. Lonely, Mr. Goodtime
E
Mr. One-you're-going-to-want-on-a-Saturday-night
A
When you're lonely, lyin' in the dark
E
I'm the number that you know by broken heart
B
No, I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right-Now
A
The one all the girls are talking about
E
The one and only, Mr. Lonely

[Verse 3]
E
So if you got a girl you better treat her right
E
You better never tell a lie, you better never start a fight
B
'Cause when she hangs up on you, guess who's on the other line?
A
He's never hard to find

[Chorus]
(Riff E and A are played throughout chorus)
E
Mr. Lonely, Mr. Goodtime
E
Mr. One-you're-going-to-want-on-a-Saturday-night

The one all the girls are talking about

The one and only, Mr. Lonely
The one and only, Mr. Lonely
