lyrics

"Hey."
"Hey, how you doing?"
"Uh, you're that-who was callin' my chick, yeah, that guy?"
"What?"
"Yup, callin' my chick again I said-"
"Your chick? She's your chick, huh?"
"...Yeah."
"I'm her cousin."
"Wha?"
"I'm her cousin."
"Oh, uh, okay. Okay then, I-uh, sorry man."
"Oh that's okay, huh?"
"Here she is, then."
"Okay."
"Alright. Okay, tell him, uh, 'you better watch it'."
"Huh?"
"You tell that guy he'd better watch it."
"Alright. Take care, alright?"
"Alright. Okay."
"Okay, bye."
"Ha-hang on!"

I wish I could be as happy as you
I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend but I-I-I'm afraid

I wish I had my own way but I rarely do
But I wish I had my way with you
I'm a loner
Ooo-ho, loner

Been a loner since high school - oh yeah
And a loner ain't no fool - oh yeah
I'm a loner
Ooo - yeah, eh-eh

Be a loner in a crowded room - oh yeah
Take me to an ocean, I'll be loner still
But I wish I could be your friend
I'm a loner
Ooo, - ooo

I'm a loner in my car - oh yeah
Sometimes it gets scary - oh yeah
Been a loner since high school - oh yeah
And a loner ain't no fool - oh yeah
But I wish I could be as happy as you
And I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend but I-I-I'm afraid

I'm a loner
I'm a loner - ooo~
Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone
Oo-ooo~, ooo~, loner, ooo~
I'm a loner
