"If You Think You're Lonely Now" is a song recorded and released as a single by American soul singer-songwriter Bobby Womack in 1981. It was released from his album The Poet. The single reached number three for four weeks on the Hot Soul Singles chart.[1] 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.

K-Ci Hailey Version [edit]
The song was later revised in 1994 by K-Ci Hailey, which is featured on the soundtrack to the film, Jason's Lyric. K-Ci's version was a pop hit, which out-performed Womack's original and peaked to number seventeen on Billboard's Hot 100 and eleven on Hot R&B Singles charts. The song's main hook is also invoked by Mariah Carey in her song "We Belong Together".
