Jesse Winchester - Lonely For A While lyrics

I guess I took an awful lot for granted I thought everyone was on the square I thought if you give love Then you get love in return After all, that seems only fair But you revolutionized my way of thinking Now I have a whole new style I don't burn with desire I don't go near the fire I think I'll just be lonely for a while I see the happy couple in the café Doing like all happy couples do I'd warn them if I could But it would do no good Their world is only big enough for two So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions It's best if I just walk on by and smile I hope their love is real I miss the way they feel But I think I'll just be lonely for a while O so much for love I'm fine on my own How'm I gonna miss Something I've never known? I know, I know you never should say never Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store One day love may find out where you're hiding But you can't find what you're not looking for So may I have a table in the corner Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle And yes, it's just myself No, there'll be no one else I think I'll just be lonely for a while I hope their love is real I miss the way they feel But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
