Lonely Boy (Electro-Vox Sessions) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I'm so above you and it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
You pulled my heart out, I don't mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

[Verse 2]
Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
I shoulda done you just the same
But I came to love you, was I born to bleed
Any old time you keep me waitin'
Waitin', waitin'

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
See The Black Keys Live
Get tickets as low as $70
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh oh
I got a love that keeps me waitin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
