Lyrics
[Chorus]
I get so lonely
I can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
I can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but...
[Verse 1]
Sittin' here with my tears
All alone with my fears, I'm wondering
If I have to do without ya
But there's no reason why
Fell asleep late last night
Cryin' like a newborn child
Holdin' myself close
Pretendin' my arms are yours
I want no one but you
[Chorus]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but...
[Verse 2]
I still remember to the day
In fact it was a third Monday
You came along to be the one for me
And now I'm alone
I'm sittin' here by the phone
Call and say that you're okay
So that I have
The chance to beg you to stay
I want no one but you
[Chorus]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (Every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear (Would you believe that you and me are no longer?)
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (Every time I see your face, babe)
Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name)
You are the love that lives in me, babe
Want no one but...
[Bridge]
Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
You know that I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
[Chorus]
I get so lonely (I get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me (I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (I get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me (I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you (I don't want no one else but you)
I get so lonely (Every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name)
You are the love that lives in me, babe
Want no one but you
I get so lonely (Every time I hear your name, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear (Would you believe that you and me are no longer?)
Want no one but you
