I'd Rather Be Alone - Debby Boone

I’m impressed by the wrong kinds of people

Although I never think that they know

And all the lives that I lead belong to others

And one that is mine I can’t say that I know

And I long to be one by the others

Who seem so far and further than me

And oh, if wishes were true

But if you wouldn’t mind

I’d rather be alone

I’ve been down and for too long forgotten

On occasion I’ll stay there for days

And I act like a clown

And I tear myself down

Just for someone to fill me with praise

And I long to be loved by the others

And I long to be taken for me

And oh, if wishes were true

But if you wouldn’t mind

I’d rather be alone

I’m inspired by the wrong inspiration

Even times when the light flickered low

I’d relight it again

And since you let me in

I’m not hurting for somewhere to go

Still I long to be loved by the others

But I long to be loved just by me

But oh, no wishes are true

So if you wouldn’t mind

I’d rather be alone

And if you wouldn’t mind

I’d rather be alone
