I'd Rather Be Lonely (Live) - Loudon Wainwright III
Every night I get the blues
The greens and yellows and chartreus es
You're still living here with me
I'd rather be lonely
All the time I look around
For excuses to leave town
Everybody wants somebody
But
I'd rather be lonely
Loneliness is happiness
It takes less than two
I confess I digress
From it when I'm with you
Let us make a brand new start
Separate
And stay apart
I've had enough
Having and holding
I'd rather be lonely
I think that I need some space
Everyday
You're in my face
How can I get rid of you
I'd rather be lonely
Loneliness is happiness yes
It takes less than two
I confess I digress
From it when I'm with you
One more verse a few more words
Love is for the bees and birds
Not for a human being like me
I'd rather be lonely
