Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have nobody
To call my own
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody
To call my own
I'm so lonely
Ya know got to have one good girl whose always been there
Like ya know took all the bullshit
Then one day she can't take it no more and decides to leave
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 hadda take a little ride
Back tracking ova these few years
Tryna figure out what I do to make it go bad
Cause ever since my girl left me
My whole left life came crashin'
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
To call my own (to call my own) girl
I'm so lonely (so lonely)
I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)

To call my own (to call my own) girl
Can't believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right out of 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 were a good girl and I had no right
I really want to make things right
Cause without you in my life girl

Been all about the world ain't never met a girl
Hat can take the things that you been through
Never thought the day would come
Where you would 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 on the globe I'd rather see
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be so happy
But now so lonely

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
I never wished I'd ever hurt my baby
And it's drivin' me crazy cause

The song "Lonely" by Akon is a melancholic tune about the feeling of loneliness after a breakup. The song begins with the singer expressing his loneliness and lack of anyone to call his own. He then dedicates the song to all the players out there who take a good girl for granted until it's too late. He reminisces about waking up one night and realizing his girl was not by his side, an experience in which he was feening for her. He then takes a little ride over the last few years of his life, trying to figure out what he did to push his girl away.
The next verse sees the singer mourning over his lost relationship and regretting his actions. He blames himself for breaking his girl's heart and acknowledges that she was a good girl who did not deserve the pain he caused. He even goes as far as admitting that he needs her in his life.
The chorus is then repeated several times, underscoring the pivotal message of the song, which is the feeling of loneliness and the sense of longing we experience when we lose someone we love.
Overall, Lonely is a poignant song that speaks to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and the longing for a person they have lost. Its message resonates with listeners worldwide and has made it an enduring classic.

Thinking back over the past few years of my life
Tryna figure out what I do to make it go bad

Cause ever since my girl left me
Since my partner chose to end our relationship

And I just let you walk right out of my life
I allowed you to depart from my existence without putting up a fight or trying to make it work

Cause without you in my life girl
My life feels incomplete and unsatisfying without your presence

Who can handle and overcome the challenges you have faced

Where you would get up and run and I would be out chasing you
I did not anticipate that you would choose to leave me, and now I am desperately trying to win you back
Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be
There is no place in the world where I would rather be than with you
Ain't no one on the globe I'd rather see
There is no one in the world who I desire to be with more than you
Than the girl of my dreams that made me be so happy
You are the woman of my fantasies who brought me immense joy
But now so lonely
Despite having once been so happy with you, I am now feeling incredibly alone
Never thought that I'd be alone
I did not anticipate feeling so isolated and abandoned
I didn't think you'd be gone this long
I did not expect that you would stay away for such a prolonged period of time
I just want you to call my phone
I am desperate for any kind of contact or communication from you
So stop playing girl and come on home (come on home)
Please stop pretending like you do not want to return to me, and come back to me now
Baby girl I didn't mean to shout
I am acknowledging that I may have been angry or rash in my behavior
I want me and you to work it out
I am still hoping that we can come to a resolution and fix our relationship
I never wished I'd ever hurt my baby
I never intended to cause you pain or distress
And it's drivin' me crazy cause
It is causing me immense emotional turmoil and stress
So lonely (so lonely)
I am feeling incredibly alone and isolated
Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have become known for my extreme loneliness and lack of companionship
I have nobody (I have nobody)
There is no one in my life who I am close to or who cares for me
To call my own (to call my own)
To have someone who is committed exclusively to me and our relationship
