Lonely Girl
Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's raining and I'm a long long ways from home
Well I'm just a good little girl that had been treated wrong
I've seen things in love, I once thought I had
Well I've seen things in love, that I once thought I had
Well when I find a man that wants me, no more will my life be sad
Want a little girl to live in your home
Dark summer you fine young mine
Want a little girl to live in your home
I'll be kind, true and nice
And I never do you wrong
I'll be true kind and faithful
Good as a little girl can be
I'll be true kind and faithful
Good as any little girl can be
Well all I want daddy is you to be good to me
The lyrics of "Lonely Girl" by Johnny are about a woman who finds herself far away from home in the rain. She is feeling mistreated and hurt by the men in her past who have not treated her well. However, she remains hopeful that she will find a man who will want her for who she is and make her life happy again. She longs to find a man who will take her in and treat her kind, true and fair, never doing her wrong. She simply wants her man to be good to her.
The lyrics speak to themes of loneliness, the search for love, and the desire for someone to treat you well. Through her words, the woman expresses her longing for a deeper connection with a man who will cherish her and make her happy. The song captures the sentiment of someone who is looking for love and has been hurt in the past, but remains optimistic about the future.

This is a great tune, one of my favorites by Johnny Mathis. And Claus Ogermann was a brilliant arranger.
