[Spoken Intro:] They say absence makes the heart grow fonder And that love can make your life longer The first may be true but the second, I can't be sure I thought I knew what love was When I met that girl, two years ago Something in my heart said that she'd always be mine But now, she doesn't seem to love me Nothing I say, and nothing I do ever changes her mind I wish that she would always be mine I changed my ways, became a better man I did everything she wanted, everything was for her But I don't think it matters, anymore Because she's gone And now I'm learning, just how lonely one person can be [Hook:] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as one It's the loneliest number since the number one [Verse 1:] Although you're here with me I still feel all alone Like a king dethroned, no one throws me a bone I've been disowned and now I'm going off like a cyclone Turning this relationship into a combat zone [....], I wonder why the phone never rings But I know, because you're never at home Always off with your new boyfriend doing the same [....] you promised we would do I thought I'd be better off without you But I can't stop feeling blue If I could only undo what's already been done My life, with you, was always a homerun Now I'm lucky to even strike out I know I used to scream and shout Go on about how pissed I was when you was out with yo friends I guess we'll never make amends, I guess this really is the end But it doesn't have to be that way though, yo let's mend what they say can't healed You can be my girlfriend and we'll always power through No matter what I say and do, I'll always love you I'll always stay true If you'd only just return, cuz one can be so damn lonely [Hook:] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as one It's the loneliest number since the number one
(x2) [Verse 2:] I walk down the street, bangin' to this beat Walkin' in every puddle, frozen toes, wet feet I've been pretty downbeat recently I mistreated you, never acted decently I was carelessly and frequently putting you down Saying cruel words that I never meant My words have been spent, there's nothing left to say Except that I'm sorry But I'm worried that my words fall on deaf ears I once was yours but anymore I'm crying behind closed doors You were the one that I adore, I swore I'd always be there Sorry I ever called you [....] [....] Yeah, you can call me immature, I just wish you wouldn't ignore I mean, remember that time on the dance floor where we had our first hug? I'm sure if we can go back to those days, we can restore what has been broken But without you in this moment, I'm heartbroken and frozen I've spilled my emotion onto these pages and now my slogan is that one is just so damn lonely [Hook:] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as one It's the loneliest number since the number one (x2) [Bridge:] It's just no good anymore since you went away Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday (x2) [Hook:] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do Two can be as bad as one It's the loneliest number since the number one (x2) [Spoken Outro:] I dream of you in my sleep Not a day goes by where you don't take command of my thoughts I can't eat, I can't think, all I can see is you Every sad song and TV show, it only reminds me, that I am alone I miss spending time with you, seeing your smiling face I miss the soft feel of your lips, as we embrace Sweet love, kisses, and hugs Everything we did, holding hands, and skipping down the road Nothing left remains, except for a few pained memories I will never let you part For you're always, in my heart
