I hear it on the radio everywhere I go They tell me I'm a loser to be alone The silver screen and Seventeen say I'm supposed to be 2 not 1 in a lifetime of afterglow Don't wait, don't wait Hurry into another mistake I'm taking my time, I know what I mean I made up my mind, now I believe It's better to be lonely One look and I'm giving out my number One kiss and I'm calling you mine The next thing I know I'm going under Why do I need that misery, I think I believe It's better to be lonely They used to say that fools rush in and I swear I've been The fool that wanted someone else to make me whole And I don't mind hanging out with me, I like the company Someday I'll find someone who will move my soul 'Til then, 'til then I'm not jumping in again I'm taking my time, I know what I mean I made up my mind, now I believe It's better to be lonely One look and I'm giving out my number One kiss and I'm calling you mine The next thing I know I'm going under Why do I need that misery, I think I believe It's better to be lonely I'm not saying now or never I just know there's something better yeah?
