[Intro]
Yeah
I get so lonely
Without you
I can't let anybody else hold me
Yeah
I need you
I need you, uh
[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 1]
Sittin here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin if I have to do
Withoutcha
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 is 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
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
[Breakdown]
Gonna break it down
Break it down, break it down
Gotta break it down
Break it down, break it down
Whoa

That I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you
Oh-hooh
Noowhoahooo...
