B.J. Thomas - I'd Rather Be Lonely Lyrics

B.J. Thomas Lyrics

"I'd Rather Be Lonely"

I'd rather my doorbell didn't ring
Unless it's touched by your hand
Let my phone remain a silent thing
Cause no one I talk to understands

That since you've gone away from me
I don't care for memories
If I can't have your love
I'd rather be lonely

I can't bare to walk down the street
That I used to walk with you
'Cause all the old friends that I meet
Tell me that true love will come through

I just can't seem to make them see
I don't want their sympathy
If I can't have your love
I'd rather be lonely

If I can't caress you tenderly
Please don't let the sun shine
If I can't have your love
If I can't have your love
If I can't have your love
I'd rather be lonely
