I'd Rather Be Lonely - Loudon Wainwright III

Every night I get the blues

Greens and yellows and chartreuses

You’re still living here with me, I’d rather be lonely

All the thime I look around

For excuses to leave town

Everybody wants somebody but I’d rather be lonely

CHORUS:

Lonliness is happiness it takes less than two

I confess that I digress from it when I’m with you

Let’s 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

Every day you’re in my face

How can I get rid of you, I’d rather be lonely

(Chorus)

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
