Why do I seem to be caught up inside a dream
All my life, it's always been my shadow and me
Over my shoulder there's always a voice somewhere
Saying I never should try to set my heart free
I wish that love would come and take me in her arms
Show me what I've never known
Where I could hold someone, words like right and wrong
Just fade away like yesterday
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, won't even let me fall in love
Oh... Ho... everywhere I go always by my side
Lonely won't even let me fall in love,no
I try and say I love you but the words won't come through
In my eyes, see all the tears and sad memories
Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling too far behind
I guess that lonely needs company
Around each bend of road
I'm thinking that in time there will be that rainbow's end
But when I follow those self illusions
I find that it's only lonely and me again
Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Why, tell me why, lonely just keeps my heart out of touch
Oh... Ho... everywhere I go always by my side
Lonely won't even let me fall in love
Lonely won't leave me alone
Won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Oh, no...
Lonely
Won't even let me fall in love
Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
Take me in her arms
Lonely
Lonely won't let me fall in love
Lonely won't leave me alone
Won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone
Ooh, I know
Lonely
Lonely won't let me fall in love,no
