Lyrics

I get so lonely I 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 I can't let just anybody hold me You are the one that lives in me, my dear Want no one but... Sittin' here with my tears All alone with my fears I'm wonderin' if I have to do without you But there's no reason why I fell asleep late last night Cryin' like a newborn child Holdin' myself close, pretendin' my arms are yours I want no one but you I get so lonely I 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 I can't let just anybody hold me You are the one that lives in me, my dear Want no one but... I still remember to the day In fact it was a 3rd 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 I get so lonely I can't let just anybody hold me You are the one that lives in me, my dear I 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, ooh) Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name) You are the one that lives in me, baby Want no one but you I get so lonely (Every time I see your face, baby, ooh) Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name) You are the one that lives in me, my dear Want no one but you Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down, oh oh You know that I know that I get so lonely thinkin' of you, ooh, hoo No, no I get so lonely (I get lonely when I hear your name) I 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) I 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 (Every time I see your face, baby) Can't let just anybody hold me (Every time I hear your name) You are the love that lives in me, my dear 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 Want no one but you
