If You Think You're Lonely Now
"If You Think You're Lonely Now" is a song recorded and released as a single by American soul singer-songwriter Bobby Womack in 1982. It was released from his album The Poet. The single reached number three for four weeks on the Hot Soul Singles chart.[2] This is significant because Womack released the song during a time when R&B was on a down slope and the charts were largely dominated by dance music.
