[Verse 1]
Who said the sea can't move in winter
Or the clouds stand still in a storm?
Who said a man can't cry and be lonely?
Who says a man can't tend to be bored?
And if you could see inside my heart
You would see loneliness
And if I could show you my mind
You would be depressed

[Chorus]
So I I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes

[Verse 2]
So I gather my things and be on my way
Into my lonely place
Said, I'm feelin' lonely and lonesome
And I just need to get away
And if you could know what I'm afraid of
You would be frightened
If you could feel the pain that I'm feelin'
Then you would know why

[Chorus]
So I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes

[Breakdown]
So I sit away
Said, I get away
Said, I sit away
Said, I get away

[Bridge]
Oh, why do I feel like I will never be loved again?
There I go back in my mood again
Lonely, lonely, sit away
Help me, just get away
Can you hear me?

[Chorus]
Said I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
Sometimes, I just go, and I get away
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away only in my mind
Said, I sit away lonely
And I get away sometimes
Said, I sit away lonely

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
