Let Me Be Lonely

Oh, let me be lonely
I wanna be faithful and honest
And true to the one I love, the one I love
Oh, let me be lonely
I've got to be someone he's proud to come home to some happy day
Oh, what a day that'll be

I wanna be there and answer my door
When he comes back to me once more
If I deceive him, just once
I couldn't face him, no
I couldn't face him, baby
If I give in to loneliness
And hold you tight all through the night

Oh, let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Mmm, let me be, I've got to be
Please let me be, I just wanna be lonely
I've got to be there by his side
For the rest of my natural life
If I should let him down, baby
I'd have to tell him so, yes, I'd have to tell him so
And if I did, what could he do?
He'd say goodbye, I know I, I would die

So let me be lonely
'Cause I love him only
Oh, let me be, please let me be
I wanna be, I've got to be
I wanna be, why can't you see?
Oh baby, oh baby, please, let me be lonely
Oh, let me be, I've got to be
Can't you see? I've got to be
I must be
