So Who's Lonely? Lyrics

Wasn't I the heat? Wasn't I the cool?
Wasn't I the one who never got fooled?
Smiling to myself, finally I'm free
Isn't this the way I thought it should be?
Didn't I survive, walk away unhurt?
Didn't I get in the last word, didn't I, didn't I?

So who's lonely? (lonely)
Night after night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Can't sleep at night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right any more

Wasn't this the sting? Wasn't this the deal?
Isn't this the way I thought it would feel?
Walking through the part, wasn't I the queen?
Didn't I shine in the critical scene?
If I had to choose what I want to see
Isn't this the way that the part would read, isn't it, isn't it?

So who's lonely? (lonely)
Night after night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Can't sleep at night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right any more

Oh, seemed so easy, it felt so clear
Isn't it funny how things far away seem to change when you get near?
Oh, didn't I have it? You know, I didn't understand
I thought I had the whole situation in the palm of my hands
Why doesn't anything feel right any more?
Why doesn't anything feel right any more?
Why doesn't anything feel right any more?
Why doesn't anything feel right any more?

Wasn't I sharp? Didn't I shine?
Didn't I get away clean this time?
You without a chance, me without a scar
Didn't I save another broken heart?
Isn't this change exactly what I need?
Isn't this the part where I start to feel free?

So who's lonely? (lonely)
Night after night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Can't sleep at night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Night after night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Can't sleep at night
So who's lonely? (lonely)
Nothing feels right any more

Cover art for So Who's Lonely? lyrics by Quarterflash

Performed in a 1982 concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma that was broadcast on the "King Biscuit Flower Hour," but AFAIK never released on an album or as a single, and not available on any streaming service. (Unfortunate, as this may well be their best song.) The King Biscuit performance is available on YouTube, however: https://youtu.be/wVriIL_uGJc?si=bntCTyMNl3uApEg0
