Why do I seem to be caught up inside a dream? All my life, it's always been my shadow and me Over my shoulder there's always a voice somewhere Saying, I ever should try to set my heart free I wish that love would come and take me in her arms Show me what I've never known Where I could hold someone and words like right and wrong Just fade away like yesterday Lonely won't leave me alone Lonely won't leave me alone Why, tell me why? Won't even let me fall in love Oh, everywhere I go Always by my side Won't even let me fall in love I try and say, I love you but the words won't come through When my eyes see all the tears and sad memories Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling, too Far behind, I guess, that lonely needs company Around each bend of road, I'm thinking back in time There will be that rainbow's end But when I follow love, self delusions I find That it's only lonely and me again Lonely won't leave me alone Lonely won't leave me alone Why, tell me why? Lonely just keeps my heart out of touch Oh, everywhere I go Always by my side Won't even let me fall in love Lonely won't leave me alone I wish that love would come Lonely won't leave me alone And take me home Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love Lonely won't leave me alone I wish that love would come Lonely won't leave me alone And take me home Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love Lonely won't leave me alone I wish that only Lonely won't leave me alone Love would come Lonely, lonely won't let me fall in love
