Let Me Be Lonely - Janis Ian

Written by：Janis Ian

Ooh 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

Ooh 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

Ooh 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

Ooh 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

Ooh let me be lonely

I'd rather be by myself

Acting holy

I want to be with the one

Ooh let me be lonely

All you do with your time

Couldn't you find the time

With your kind it's done
