Id Rather Be Lonely
Loudon Wainwright III
[Verse 1] Every night I get the blues with greens and yellows and chartreuses. You’re still living here with me. I’d rather be lonely. [Verse 2] All the time I look around for excuses to leave town. Everybody wants somebody but I’d rather be lonely. [Chorus] Loneliness is happiness It takes less than two. I confess I digress From it when I’m with you. [Verse 3] Let us make a brand new start separate and stay apart. I’ve had enough having and holding. I’d rather be lonely. [Verse 4] 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. [Solo] [Chorus] Loneliness is happiness It takes less than two. I confess I digress From it when I’m with you. [Verse 5] 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.
