Fate is mighty cruel
|
Where true love is concerned
|
It seems you give out more
|
Than you ever have returned
|
Lately I have tried
|
To make it on my own
|
Another nite has passed
|
Looks like I'm bound to be alone
|
Bound to be alone
|
|
Now solitude is fine
|
When you really need it
|
When your soul is dry
|
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
|
When you need a lover
|
You know there's nothin' else will do
|
When you need love most
|
You know it turns it's back on you
|
|
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
|
I only wish I knew why you won't comfort me
|
I thot that I could count on you
|
To hear me cryin' out
|
I guess that's one comfort
|
I will learn to do without
|
|
Fallin love too easily
|
But never quite so fast
|
So you are not the first and, lord
|
You sure won't be the last
|
The thing about the situation
|
That makes me feel so sad
|
I could've been the best old friend
|
That you have ever had
|
I could've been the best old friend
|
That you have ever had
|
|
