Every night I get the blues
The greens and yellows and chartreus-es
You're still living here with me
I'd rather be lonely
All the time I look around
For excuses to leave town
Everybody wants somebody, but
I'd rather be lonely
Loneliness is happiness
It takes less than two
I confess, I digress
From it when I'm with you
Let us make a brand new start
Separate and stay apart
I've had enough having and holding
I'd rather be lonely
I think that I need some space
Everyday you're in my face
How can I get rid of you?
I'd rather be lonely
Loneliness is happiness
It takes less than two
I confess, I digress
From it when I'm with you
One more verse, a few more words
Love is for the bees and birds
Not for a human being like me
I'd rather be lonely
