Text: Melissa Etheridge. Occasionally.

I saw you with your new friends....You wear them so well
Broken shoes and loose ends....Gee you look swell
Me I'm drinking too much coffee....And I'm smoking cigarettes
I'm a deputy of habit....I just can't forget

CHORUS:

I'm only lonely when I'm driving in my car
I'm only lonely after dark
I'm only lonely when I'm watching my TV
I'm only lonely occasionally

I saw you with your envoy....A consenting adult
Technique in moderation....But vogue to the cult
Me I've got my strangers....To exile in the night
I guess I'm just addicted....To the pain of delight

CHORUS
