Lyrics
Lonely
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.
Feeling so alone and deserted
With people standing all around you
Should I trust someone
Should I stay off to myself
Alone with no one to talk to
It's such a helpless feeling
So anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
'Cause everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely
So don't isolate yourself
Everytime that I come around
A person all alone
Is an unhappy one
We need somebody near to love us
Someone who cares
Living life all by ourselves
Impossible to do do
And I'll be there for you
Anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
'Cause everybody needs a friend
And I'll be yours if you're lonely
(And if you're all alone)
If you're all alone
And a friend you need
Like a river flows
You hurt, I'll bleed
If you trust in me
We can find a way
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'Cause happiness is oh so hard to find
(If you're lonely I'll be there)
When you call for me I'll be there for you
I will be there for you
Be there with you, baby
Anytime you need me call me
Everybody needs a friend to be there when they feel
Call me, baby, when you need a friend
Call me, call me, I'll never let you down
Never let you down
Never let you down
Never let you down, yeh yeh
Hold you tight
Be there for you always through the night
Be there for you
Be there for you, oh baby
If you're all alone
And a friend you need
Like a river flows
You hurt, I'll bleed
If you trust in me
We can find a way
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'Cause happiness is oh so hard to find
Una persona solitaria
Es una persona triste
Te quiero tanto
