Please, come sit down
I need to set you straight before we go any further
I've learned from loneliness
That lonely can be bitter and lonely can be sweet
Sure, I know I don't need a man to be complete
and I also know that what I want and what I need don't always meet
But being alone ain't all that bad cause see
I've been there and I've done that
I'm in the midst of an evolution of myself
I was tired of the search, so had to sit it on the shelf
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet
I haad been looking for my cowboy, like that girl says in that song
Where have all the cowboys gone
In my former life my once cowboys have gone hoochie hopping and car shopping
riding their egos like wild horses
or collision courses with their machismo, while I slow slaughtered
as their valor and virtue drowned in deep water, deep water
So I decided to chill with me for the moment and play my own violins
And strike my own candlelight
So every night is my night
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet
Are you listening
I need to be completely sure that you're listening
I used to think that the moons name might as well have been Lonely
Now I sip my night full like it where blackberry marsala
Then lick the excess off my lips
So as not to waste one drop of it's sweetness
I satisfy my wonderlust
With the wildness of the night and the comfort of myself
I've taken up hedonism as a hobby
And have made it harder for the next man to step into my life without a plan
For how to please me better than I pleased myself
So if you've come without a plan, than make a swift retreat cause
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet, lonely can be sweet
My soul's music, my life beat
Lonely can be sweet
