Fate is mighty cruel

Where true love is concerned

It seems you give out more

Than you ever have returned

Lately I have tried

To make it on my own

Another nite has passed

Looks like Im bound to be alone

Bound to be alone



Now solitude is fine

When you really need it

When your soul is dry

Sometimes loneliness can feed it

When you need a lover

You know theres nothin else will do

When you need love most

You know it turns its back on you



Oh, I can make it thru without your company

I only wish I knew why you wont comfort me

I thot that I could count on you

To hear me cryin out

I guess thats one comfort

I will learn to do without



Fallin love too easily

But never quite so fast

so you are not the first and, lord

You sure wont be the last

The thing about the situation

That makes me feel so sad

I couldve been the best old friend

That you have ever had

I couldve been the best old friend

That you have ever had
