"If You Think You're Lonely Now" is a song recorded and released by American soul singer-songwriter Bobby Womack in 1981 from his album The Poet. It was initially released as the B-side to his song "Secrets"[1] but proved to be the more popular track. 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.
Reception
For Record Collector, Tim Brown wrote, "There was a major hit single in the form of the rambling ballad 'If You Think You’re Lonely Now', a true return to form."[3]

The song's main hook is also invoked by Mariah Carey in her 2005 song "We Belong Together".
