Oh, let me be lonely
I wanna be faithful
And honest and true to

The one I love, the one I love, whoa

Oh, let me be lonely

I've gotta be someone
He's proud to come home to
Some happy day

What a day that'll be

I wanna be there, be there by his arm

When he comes back to me
If I deceived him even once
I couldn't face him


Oh no, I couldn't face him
If I give in to loneliness and

Hold you tight all thru the night

Oh, let me, let me be lonely, hey, hey

'Cause I love him o-only
Oh, let me be
Oh, let me be, let me be lonely


- Interlude -


I wanna be there, be there by his side
All through my life
And if I ever let him down

I'll have to show him
Whoa, yes, I'd have to tell him
And if I did, what could he do

He'd say goodbye and I would die, yeah

Oh, let me, let me be lonely

'Cause I love you more
Oh, let, oh, let me be
Oh, let me be

Oh, let me be
Let me, let me
Why won't you let me be lonely, yeah


Oh, yeah
Let me be lonely

Uh-huh, yeah
Let me be lonely, yeah...
