Have time to hear me say
There was a brother down the hall who kept running away
He got by on daddy’s cane
Wore all the bruises passed them my way

Can’t you see, man, I don’t want that story
Even if I generally could
I tried to be on my best behaviour
But there’s nothing right here done than playing the fool

Hands up for the lonely
Hands up for the lonely yeah I
Hands up for the lonely
Hands up for the lonely yeah I oh yeah I

I don’t know why you play this way
You always left me hanging on a string
Communication disengage, I don’t want to play that game
I find that love’s the only way, oh

I moved on but you don’t see
The love I gave for family
But if you give me one more chance to turn around and make a stance
Just maybe then your eyes will see

Hands up for the lonely
Hands up for the lonely yeah I
Hands up for the lonely
Hands up for the lonely yeah I oh yeah I
