Lonely No More
Rob Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you know just what to say
But words are only words
Can you show me something else?
Can you swear to me
That you'll always be this way?
Show me how you feel
More then ever, baby
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this
I don't want another lover at my door
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Now it's hard for me
When my heart's still on the mend
Open up to me
Like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me
And it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything, just to get you back again
Why can't we just try?
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this (woah)
I don't want another lover at my door (woah)
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more (woah)
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
What if I was good to you?
What if you were good to me?
What if I could hold you 'till I feel you move inside of me?
And what if it was paradise?
And what if we were symphonies?
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you?
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this (woah)
I don't want another lover at my door (woah)
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more (woah)
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
I don't want to be lonely anymore (oh, oh) (oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa)
I don't want to be lonely no more (ooh, whoa) (ooh, whoa)
I don't want to be lonely no more (oh, oh) (oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa)
No, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't
I don't want to be lonely anymore
The lyrics of Rob Thomas’s song Lonely No More speaks of a desire to be loved and not wanting to feel lonely. The singer of the song is seeking love and is asking if the person they are interested in can show them something more than just words. The words are only words to the singer, and they want the person to prove their love in more tangible ways. The singer uses a series of rhetorical questions to convey their message, prompting their lover to be good to them, and promising to do the same in return. The song conveys a strong impression of fear of rejection, perfectly captured in the lines, "It's just another heartache on my list/ I don't want to be angry no more/ You know I could never stand for this."
Overall, the song is about the desire for love and companionship, and not wanting to live a lonely life. Thomas has used catchy music and relatable lyrics to create a song that speaks to anyone seeking love and companionship in their life. The song also subtly encourages people to communicate their love and not just rely on words, but to show their love in meaningful and tangible ways.
