Lyrics

I know I'll be lonely, I know I'll be blue
Yet, I'd rather to be lonely than to have a love that's untrue
Most people learn by mistake, so they say
But I don't want to learn that way 'cause it's the hard way
Call me anything you want to, I couldn't care less my friend
I'm merely saving myself from the things that I fear
I'll be lonely, I know, I know I'll be blue
Yet, I'd rather to be lonely than to have a love that's untrue
Call me anything you want to
I couldn't care less, my friend
I'm merely saving myself from the things that I fear
I'll be lonely, I know, I know I'll be blue
Yet, I'd rather to be lonely than to have a love that's untrue
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la, la
