(Donna Weiss/Jackie DeShannon)



You run from surrender and your persona's clean

You stay away from mirrors

Cause the eyes just look too mean

You are young and you are ravaging your fate

Save me from desire you've got to much to hide

I remember when you could not swallow your own pride

Now you're married to your own uncertainty

And you're back again to off that to me



It's only lonely love

Only lonely

Only lonely love

Only lonely

You better give it up honey

Only lonely



All you gypsy cargo

They better run they'd better flee

They don't know how far you'll go

To cover your own need

You don't think that anyone can set you straight

You have landed on you feet and on the take



But it's only lonely love

Only lonely

Only lonely love

Only lonely

You better give it up honey

Only lonely



I got too much to lose and I'm not into being

Lost and abused it's too plebian

I'm giving it up

And you're only lonely



Only lonely

Only lonely love huh

Only lonely

You better give it up honey

Don't lean on me

It's only lonely love

Only lonely

You never get enough do you

Well not from me

Only lonely love oooh oooh

Only lonely love hmmmmmmm
