[Intro]
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody help me? Come on
I get so lonely, can anybody hеlp me? Come on

[Chorus]
I get so lonеly
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you

[Verse 1]
Sittin' here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin' if I have to do
Without ya
But there's no reason why
I feel asleep late last night
Cryin' like a newborn child
Holdin' myself close
Pretendin' my arms are yours
I want no one but you

[Chorus]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you

[Verse 2]
I still remember to the day
In fact it was a third Monday
You came along to be the one for me
And now I'm alone
I'm sittin' here by the phone
Call and say that you're okay
So that I'll have the chance
To beg you to stay
I want no one but you

[Chorus]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
(Every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(Every time I hear your name)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
(I can't believe that you and me are no longer)
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
(Every time I see your face, babe, woo)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(Every time I hear your name)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
(You are the love that lives in me, babe)
Want no one but you

[Bridge]
Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Whoa-oh
You know
That I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
Ooh-hoo
No-oh-oh-no, no-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I get so lonely
(I get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
(Get lonely when I hear your name)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(I get lonely when I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
I don't want no one but you
I get so lonely
(Every time I see your face, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(Every time I hear your name)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
(You are the love that lives in me)
Want no one but you
I get so lonely
(Every time I hear your name, baby)
Can't let just anybody hold me
(Every time I see your face)
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
(I can't believe that you and me are no longer)
Want no one but you

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
