I have nobody for my own
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely
Yo, this one here goes out to all my players out there, man
Ya know, that got that one good girl, Lord
Like took all the bullshit
Then one day she can't take it no more and decide 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 feenin' so I had to take a little ride
Backtracking over these few years
Tryin' ta figure out what I do to make it go bad
'Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole life came crashing and I'm so...
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely
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're a good girl and I had no right
I really wanna make things right
'Cause without you in my life girl I'm so...
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely
Been all about the world, ain't never 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
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be
So happy but now so lonely...
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely
Never thought that I'd be alone (be alone)
I didn't think you'd be gone this long (gone so 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 baby)
I had never wished to ever hurt my baby (hurt my baby)
And it's drivin' me crazy 'cause I'm so...
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
For my own (to call my own girl)
I am so lonely
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
Mr. Lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely (lonely)
So lonely (so lonely)
So lonely
Mr. Lonely
The lyrics of Akon's song Mr. Lonely depict a man who is devastated after the departure of his beloved. The singer admits that he is lonely without her and that he has nobody to call his own. He tries to make sense of why his girlfriend left him and reflects on the significant changes in his life since she's been gone. He admits that he can't believe he had someone special like her and will do anything to make things right so she can return to his life. The song expresses regret, pain, and longing for companionship.
The chorus of the song is repetitive, emphasizing the depth of the singer's loneliness. The lyrics are relatable, and many people can connect with the emotions expressed in this song. The reference to "players" and "good girls" also suggests that Akon is acknowledging the complexities of relationships and how society often glorifies "playing the game."

Greetings to all the players who have a good girl by their side
Ya know, that got that one good girl, Lord
You all know who that one good girl is who stayed by your side
That's always been there
She's always been there for you
Like took all the bullshit
She took all the nonsense and still stayed
Then one day she can't take it no more and decide to leave
But one day she finally had to leave because she couldn't take it anymore
Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
One night, I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
I realized that my girl was not with me
Coulda sworn I was dreamin' for her
I felt like I was dreaming about her
I was feenin' so I had to take a little ride
I had an urge to meet her, so I went for a ride
Backtracking over these few years
