The Loneliness
Babyface · A Love Story
I'm sitting here,
Thinkin bout,
How I'm gon-na do without,
You around,
In my life,
And how am I, I gon get by,
Ain't got no days,
Just lonely nights,
If you want the truth,
Well girl I'm not alright,
Feel out of place,
And out of time,
I think I'm gonna lose my mind
So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real? (So lonely)
Do you still think of me? (I think of you)
Baby still? (You only)
Do you dream of me at night? (Like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one
Oh let me tell you how it feels (It's like everyday I die)
Wish I was dreamin but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (And don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in
I miss your face,
I miss your kiss,
I even miss, the arguments,
That we would have,
From time to time,
I miss you standing by my side,
I'm dying here,
It's clear to see,
There ain't no you, God knows there ain't no me,
Don't wanna live,
I wanna die,
If I can't have you in my life
So tell me how you feel (Ohhh)
Are you for real? (For real)
Do you still think of me? (I think of you)
Baby still? (You only)
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one
Oh let me tell you how it feels (It's like everyday I die)
Wish I was dreamin but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (And don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in (Will never, I will never love again)
((Repeat until end))
So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real? (So lonely)
Do you still think of me? (I think of you)
Baby still? (You only)
Do you dream of me at night? (It's like I dream you all the time)
So lo-o-o-o-o-one
Oh let me tell you how it feels (It's like everyday I die)
Wish I was dreamin but it's real (When I open up my eyes)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (And I don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love agai-i-i-in (I'll never ever ever love again baby)
