Gotta stop me from going crazy

Pull the reins in on me

I needn't lobby so hard

If it's not meant to be



But it's been two years now

And I've had quite enough

Of playing solitaire

And it's getting rough



CHORUS

To be alone

To be alone

To be alone

To be alone



Six of one, half dozen of the other

It was all the same you see

Until I felt all the things

That you do to me



Prepare for the crushing blow

That seems to haunt me

And shatters my misguided faith

And winds up leaving me



CHORUS



But please have the decency

Not to patronize me

You can flatten my hopes and dreams

But leave my dignity



'Cause it's all I hve to

Keep me company

Take it and there's nothing left

And I'm truly left to be



CHORUS
