She doesn't go there just to hear the music
Or try to get a mem'ry off her mind
She never hustles drinks from strangers at the bar
And she always leaves alone at closing time

She always has a conduct of a lady
Her clothes are neat her manners well rewind
And she's not your average honky tonk angel
She just prefers a crowd at crying time

She just wants to be anything but lonesome
Any place except alone at home
She just wants to be anything but lonesome
For lonesome's what she's been much too long

She just wants to be anything but lonesome
For lonesome's what she's been much too long
