"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"[4] but proved to be the more popular track. The single reached number three for four weeks on the Hot Soul Singles chart.[5] 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.

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 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 2005 song "We Belong Together".
