[Verse 1]
Well I didn't want to be this lonely
Though losing you was a relief
From a life with one man only
Devoid of morals or belief

[Chorus]
But, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely

[Verse 2]
I'm still not sure I did the right thing
To forfeit danger for good sense
But in my mind you're like a cash till
Breaking dollars into cents

[Chorus]
But, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely

[Bridge]
Hey!
Hey!
Lone-lone-lonely
Hey!
Hey!
Lonely
[Verse 3]
You'll find somebody else to suffer
And get to know your selfish ways
And I'll feel pity for the next one
When you start to ruin her days

[Chorus]
But, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
No, I didn't want to be this lonely
