Loudon Wainwright Iii - I'd Rather Be Lonely lyrics

Every night I get the blues The greens and yellows and chartreus-es You're still living here with me I'd rather be lonely All the time I look around For excuses to leave town Everybody wants somebody, but I'd rather be lonely Loneliness is happiness It takes less than two I confess, I digress From it when I'm with you Let us make a brand new start Separate and stay apart I've had enough having and holding I'd rather be lonely I think that I need some space Everyday you're in my face How can I get rid of you? I'd rather be lonely Loneliness is happiness It takes less than two I confess, I digress From it when I'm with you One more verse, a few more words Love is for the bees and birds Not for a human being like me I'd rather be lonely
