Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, let me be lonely
I wanna be faithful and honest
And true to the one I love
The one I love
[Verse 2]
Oh, let me be lonely
I've gotta be someone he's proud
To come home to some happy day
What a day that will be
[Verse 3]
I wanna be there, be there by the door
When he comes back to me
If I deceive him even once, I couldn't face him
Oh, I know I couldn't face him
[Verse 4]
If I give in to loneliness
And hold you tight
All through the night
[Verse 5]
Oh, let me, let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Oh, let me be, oh, let me be
Let me be lonely
[Verse 6]
I wanna be there, be there by his side
All through my life and if I ever let him down
I have to tell him, oh yes, I have to tell him
And if I did, what could he do?
He'd say goodbye and I would die, yes
[Verse 7]
Let me, let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Oh, let me be, oh, let me be
Oh, let me be, let me, let me
Oh, won't you let me be lonely
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah, let me be lonely
Oh, oh, yeah, let me be lonely, yeah
I'll be, let me be lonely
