I'm lonely and I love it   woe is me, but I'm above it   it's the strangest thing   I'm sad and I don't care   and I'm dancing on air      I miss you and I like it   show me a mountain and I'll hike it   it's a whole new feeling never felt before   get me to the dance floor      I'm as lonely as an eagle   and I'm crazy as a loon   who would ever think I could get over you so soon?   I should be singing the blues   but I just want to croon   winter is still with us, but I'm dancing like it's june      because I'm lonely and I love it      it's been rough, but I'll rough it   if that's how it feels to get your heart broken   break my heart again      I'm as lonely as Narcissus gazing in his mirrored pond   wearing all the clothes you hate   and going back to blond   staying up all hours in my seedy demimonde   if you have something to tell me   please don't correspond      because I'm lonely      I'm lonely and I love it   if only I'd dreamed of it   I'd have broken up with you so long ago   you wouldn't even know      I'm as lonely as an emperor upon a golden throne   going off my diet with a double chocolate cone   shouting from the rooftops and through every telephone   all the time I've been with you   I wish I'd been alone      because I'm lonely as Mount Everest   and probably as high   it's time to buy all the records   you would never let me buy   it's time to try the million things you never let me try   I can almost laugh   at all the times you made me cry   because I'm lonely and I love it
