I’d Rather Be Lonely lyrics

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
