Solitude's my best friend
The only one who sees me cry
It tells me I will never need another man
If I keep my head up and walk on by

Solitude, my best friend
My trust for you will never let me down
Tell me I'll be better off not wondering why
It lifts my head up and I walk on by

It lifts my head up and I walk on by

Solitude's my best friend and if I want to cry
It tells me I'll be happier within without
And I should turn my heart off
And stop wastin' my time

Solitude, my best friend when I ask him why
Tell me I'd be better off not finding out
So I keep my head up and walk on by
So I keep my head up and I walk on by

Better not wonder, better not cry
Better not wonder, better not cry
Better not wonder, better not cry
Better not wonder, better walk by
