I'd Rather Be Lonely

Every night I get the blues

The greens and yellows and chartreus-es

You're still living here with me

I'd rather be lonely

All the time I look around

For excuses to leave town

Everybody wants somebody -- but

I'd rather be lonely

(Chorus:)

Loneliness is happiness

It takes less than two

I confess; I digress

From it when I'm with you

Let us make a brand new start;

Separate and stay apart

I've had enough having and holding

I'd rather be lonely

I think that I need some space;

Everyday you're in my face

How can I get rid of you?

I'd rather be lonely

(Chorus)

One more verse, a few more words

Love is for the bees and birds

Not for a human being like me

I'd rather be lonely
