MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS



"Occasionally"


I saw you with your new friends

You wear them so well

Broken shoes and loose ends

Gee you look swell

Me I'm drinking my coffee

And I'm smoking cigarettes

I'm a deputy of habit

I just can't forget



I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car

I'm only lonely after dark

I'm only lonely when I watch my tv

I'm only lonely occasionally



I saw you with your envoy

A consenting adult

Technique in moderation

But vogue to the cult

Me I've got my strangers

To exile in the night

I'm guess I'm just addicted

To the pain of delight



I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car

I'm only lonely after dark

I'm only lonely when I watch my tv

I'm only lonely occasionally

Occasionally

Occasionally
