Lyrics
Only Lonely Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You run from surrender and your persona's clean
You stay away from mirrors
Cause the eyes just look too mean
You are young and you are ravaging your fate
Save me from desire you've got to much to hide
I remember when you could not swallow your own pride
Now you're married to your own uncertainty
And you're back again to off that to me
It's only lonely love
Only lonely
Only lonely love
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Only lonely
All you gypsy cargo
They better run they'd better flee
They don't know how far you'll go
To cover your own need
You don't think that anyone can set you straight
You have landed on you feet and on the take
But it's only lonely love
Only lonely
Only lonely love
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Only lonely
I got too much to lose and I'm not into being
Lost and abused it's too plebian
I'm giving it up
And you're only lonely
Only lonely
Only lonely love huh
Only lonely
You better give it up honey
Don't lean on me
It's only lonely love
Only lonely
You never get enough do you
Well not from me
Only lonely love oooh oooh
Only lonely love hmmmmmmm
