Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
In My Lonely Room (”16 Big Hits” Stereo Version)
[Verse 1]
Every single time you take me out with you (Out with you)
You always flirt around with someone new (New)
But I never criticize the tearful things you do (Things you do)
'Cause I'm so afraid (So afraid) of losing you

[Chorus]
But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
'Cause I just lock my door
And let myself go and
Lay right down and cry

[Verse 2]
Every place we go people are whispering (Whispering)
About your flirting ways (Flirty ways)
And it hurts me so to hear (Woho)
But in the public's eye I just push behind (Pushed behind)
All my hurt inside (Hurt inside)
And pretend I don't mind

[Chorus]
But in my lonеly room
Tears I don't have to hide
In my lonеly, lonely, lonely, lonely room
I push my pride aside
And lay right down and cry
In my lonely room
In my lonely room
Let myself go
