I'm Mr.lonely
I have nobody
For my own
I'm so lonely
I'm Mr.Lonely
I have nobody
I'm so lonely
Yo, this one here, goes out to all my playas out there
Man, ya know, you gotta have that one good girl
That's always been there man like took all the bullshit
Then one day she can't take it no more and decides to leave
Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
Coulda sworn I was dreamin', for her I was feelin'
So I had to take a little ride
Back tracking on these few years
Tryna figure out what I do to make it go bad
'Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashin', I'm so
Lonely
(So lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely
(Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody
(I have nobody)
For my own, girl
(To call my own)
I'm so lonely
(So lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely
(Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody
(I have nobody)
For my own, girl
(To call my own)
Can't believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right outta my life
After all I put you through you still stuck
Around and stayed by my side
What really hurt me is I broke your heart, baby
You a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
'Cause without you in my life girl, I'm so
Lonely
(So lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely

(To call my own)
Been all about the world ain't neva met a girl
That can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come where you'd get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
'Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
Ain't no one in the globe I'd rather see
Then the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely
Lonely
(So lonely)

(To call my own)
Never thought that I would be alone
(Be alone)
I didn't think you'd be gone this long
I just want you to call my phone
So stop playing girl and come on home
(Come on home)
Baby girl, I didn't mean to shout,
I want me and you to work it out
(Work it out)
I never wished I'd ever hurt my baby
(Hurt my baby)
And it's drivin' me crazy 'cause I'm so
Lonely

Mr. Lonely
The lyrics to Akon's song "Lonely" are a heartfelt expression of regret and longing for a lost love. In the first verse, Akon describes his loneliness and how he has nobody for his own. He repeats the phrase "I'm so lonely" multiple times to emphasize the depth of his pain. In the second verse, Akon explains how he woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that his girlfriend was not by his side. The realization that she is gone is like a punch to the gut, and he reminisces about the good times that they had together. In the chorus, Akon sings about his intense loneliness and how he has nobody to call his own.
The third verse is particularly poignant, as Akon admits that he had a good girl in his life but let her walk right out of it. He recognizes that he broke her heart and wishes he could make it right. However, he also acknowledges that without her in his life, he is truly lost and alone. The bridge of the song brings in a note of desperation as Akon pleads for his girlfriend to come back to him. He realizes that he may have played a part in driving her away, but he still yearns for her and wants to work things out. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, highlighting Akon's profound loneliness and his deep desire for connection.
