I'm
the one
who's paying the price, girl
Hanging around, until you come around
You keep sayin' that you got to find yourself, I didn't know you were lost
I don't mind 50\/50 but, girl, I can't be bossed
Once in a while you'll find you're all alone
Now that I find
That I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely,
I've been lone-lone-lone-lonely too long
I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long
Girl, it started a dream, it's ended a nightmare
Making the change, girl, I just don't dare
I'm a sentimental fool, girl, I don't wear it well
Well, I'm just headed for a fall, but, girl, I've already fell
Once in a while you'll find you're all alone
Now that I find
That I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely, I've been lonely too long
I've been lonely,
I've been lone-lone-lone-lonely too long
I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long
Everything has a reason, each time and each season
Girl, I can't complain
Every tear that I cry, every word that you lie
Girl, it's been ordained...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh!
I know you have plans, girl
But those plans don't include me
I've been lonely,
I've been lonely too long...
