Ooh, let me be lonely   I'd rather be by myself   Than with you acting holy      I want to be with the one   I want to be   Or else I want to be free   Ooh, let me be lonely      Saving up for a rainy day   Or donate to charity, impossible   Think you'll make history   Improbable, give your love to me      Ooh, let me be wanted   I've a right to tonight to delight   When you got it you flaunt it      And if you're not   What you seem to be then   How come you're coming on strong?   Ooh, let me be wanted      All you do with your time is tease me   Couldn't you find the time to please me?   With your kind, it looks so easy   Shoving the blues away      Ooh, let me be lonely   I'd rather be by myself   Acting holy   I want to be with the one      Ooh, let me be lonely   All you do with your time   Couldn't you find the time?   With your kind it's done
