"Lonely Girl" is a reworking of a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2000]], titled "[[Homely]]." It is not known how significantly different "Lonely Girl" is from "Homely." Following the release of "Lonely Girl" in [[2014]], fans speculated that the song originated during the ''[[Weezer (The Green Album)|Green Album]]''-era based on its song structure. It's possible that [[Ric Ocasek]] (who previously produced ''The Green Album'') suggested revisiting "Homely." The provenance of "Lonely Girl" was confirmed in [[2020]] when a demo titled "[[Follow]]" was released as part of Cuomo's digital demo compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' in [[2020]], wherein an extremely brief snippet of the end of "Homely" can be heard. | |||
The liner notes for ''Everything Will Be Alright in the End'' groups songs by one of three themes. "Lonely Girl" is grouped under the category "[[Belladonna]]" (songs about Cuomo's relationships with women). Shortly after the released of the album, an instrumental-only version of "Lonely Girl" was leaked online. In December [[2017]], an early studio mix of the song was leaked (along with the rest of the album). | |||

My lonely girl | My lonely girl, my lonely girl | ||
My lonely girl, my lonely girl | |||
My lonely girl | |||
So baby | So baby, c'mon | ||
I know how to dance | I know how to dance | ||
And I am the only one | And I am the only one | ||
Who ever takes a chance | |||
Give it a try | Give it a try | ||
You're not gonna die | You're not gonna die | ||
Unless you refuse to live | Unless you refuse to live | ||
And hide away tonight | |||
I'm lonely | I'm lonely, so homely | ||
Can't you relate? | Can't you relate? | ||
So open your arms | So open your arms | ||
And let me come in | And let me come in | ||
I'd never hurt you girl ' | I'd never hurt you, girl | ||
'Cause that would be a sin | |||
I'm lonely | I'm lonely, so homely | ||
Can't you relate? | Can't you relate? | ||
I'm blurry | I'm blurry, unworthy | ||
Can't you relate? | Can't you relate? | ||
I know you're scared | I know you're scared | ||
I know you're sad | I know you're sad | ||
I'm here to help you | I'm here to help you | ||
Realize it's not so bad | |||
So open your arms | So open your arms | ||
And let me come in | And let me come in | ||
I'd never hurt you girl ' | I'd never hurt you, girl | ||
'Cause that would be a sin | |||
My lonely girl | My lonely girl, my lonely girl | ||
My lonely girl, my lonely girl | |||
