about

Cover of the Nicky DeMatteo song.
From the REC album Sympathy for the Weird.

lyrics

We shared a kiss beneath the sky of blue. We promised faithfully that we would be true, but now I’m lonely. I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all.

You held me tight, and said I love you so. We kissed goodnight, you’d never let me go, but now I’m lonely. I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all.

You saw me with another girl. You thought I’d been untrue. But I was only telling her how much I love you.

I wanna be lonely. If I can’t have your love, I’d rather have no love at all. Lonely….
