You’re Only Lonely

Mr Jones - Counting Crows

I was down at the New

Amsterdam staring at this

yellow-haired girl

Mr Jones strikes up a

conversation with this black-

haired flamenco dancer

She dances while his father

plays guitar

She suddenly beautiful

We all want something

beautiful

Man I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence

down through the morning

Sha la la la la la la la yeah

ooh yeah

Cut up Maria! Show me some

of them Spanish dances

Pass me a bottle Mr Jones

Believe in me

Help me believe in anything

Cause I want to be someone who

believes

Yeah Mr Jones and me tell each

other fairy tales

And we stare at the beatiful women

"She looking at you Ah

no no she looking at me"

Smiling in the bright lights

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

you can never be lonely

I will paint my picture

Paint myself in blue and red

and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are

very very meaningful

Gray is my favorite color

I felt so symbolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso

I would buy myself a gray

guitar and play

Mr Jones and me look into the

future

Stare at the beautiful women

"She looking at you

Uh I don't think so She's

looking at me"

Standing in the spotlight

I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me I will

never be lonelyI will never be lonely

Said I'm never gonna be lonely

I want to be a lion

Everybody wants to pass as cats

We all want to be big big

stars but we got different

reasons for that

Believe in me because I don't

believe in anything

and I want to be someone to

believe to believe to believe

Yeah

Mr Jones and me stumbling

through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful

women

"She's perfect for you Man

there got to be somebody for me"

I want to be Bob Dylan

Mr Jones wishes he was

someone just a little more funky

When everybody loves you

son that just about as funky

as you can be

Mr Jones and me staring at

the video

When I look at the television I

I want to see me staring right

back at me

We all want to be big stars

but we don't know why and we don't know how

But when everybody loves me

I'm going to be just about as

happy as I can be

Mr Jones and me we've gonna

be big stars
