(originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas)




Every single time
You take me out with you

You always flirt around
With someone new


But I never criticize
The tearful things you do
Cause I'm so afraid

Of losing you

But in my lonely room

Tears I don't have to hide
Cause I just lock my door
And let myself go and

Lay right down and cry

Every place we go

People are whispering
About your flirting ways
And it hurts me so to hear


But in the public's eye
I just push behind

All my hurt inside
And pretend I don't mind


But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
In my lonely, lonely

Lonely, lonely room

I push my pride aside

And lay right down and cry
In my lonely room
In my lonely room

Let myself go... [fade]
