Janis Ian - Let Me Be Lonely lyrics

rate me

Ooo, let me be lonely

I'd rather be by myself

than with you acting holy

I want to be with the one

I want to be

or else I want to be free

Ooo, let me be lonely

Saving up for a rainy day

or donate to charity?

Impossible

Think you'll make history?

improbable

give your love to me

Ooo, let me be wanted

I've a right to tonight

to delight

when you got it you flaunt it

and if you're not

what you seem to be then

how come you're coming on strong?

Ooo, let me be wanted

all you do with your time

is tease me

Couldn't you find the time

to please me?

With your kind

it looks so easy

shoving the blues away

Ooo - let me be lonely

I'd rather be by myself

acting holy

I want to be with the one

Ooo, let me be lonely

All you do with your time

couldn't you find the time?

With your kind it's done
