Oh, let me be lonely I wanna be faithful and honest And true to the one I love The one I love Oh, let me be lonely I've gotta be someone he's proud To come home to some happy day What a day that will be I wanna be there, be there by the door When he comes back to me If I deceive him even once, I couldn't face him Oh, I know I couldn't face him If I give in to loneliness And hold you tight All through the night Oh, let me, let me be lonely 'Cause I love him only Oh, let me be, oh, let me be Let me be lonely I wanna be there, be there by his side All through my life and if I ever let him down I have to tell him, oh yes, I have to tell him And if I did, what could he do? He'd say goodbye and I would die, yes Let me, let me be lonely 'Cause I love him only Oh, let me be, oh, let me be Oh, let me be, let me, let me Oh, won't you let me be lonely Oh yeah, let me be lonely Oh, oh, yeah, let me be lonely, yeah I'll be, let me be lonely
