Stay away from lonely places follow the crowd Stay around familiar faces play the music loud Be seen at all the parties dress yourself in style Stay away from lonely places for awhile Stay away from lonely places till you learn to live alone Someone's outstretched arms are waiting to stay with you at least till dawn Remember that sorrow prospers in a heart that never smiles So stay away from lonely places for awhile Stay away from lonely places it takes time to learn to live alone And someone's outstretched arms are waiting to stay with you at least till dawn Remember that sorrow prospers in a heart that never smiles So stay away from lonely places for awhile
