The Lonely One Lyrics

The only, the only

Well I could take it well, but then I could leave it well
Either way I choose
If it’s a test on what it means to live with you
I can only lose
You decide it when you love a libertine
You’re gonna play with fire
‘Til he lets go and the eyes of sympathy
Follow you around

Tell me how it feels to be the lonely one for once
And tell me how it feels to be the only one in love
The only, the only

For as long as you can drive the open road
Not an open mouth
‘Til the lightning set a fire in the hole
and the truth got out
Break the silence girl
(Break the silence girl)
You wanna play around
(He can only play around)
‘Til the day he’s done
The day your gone and
The day I change my mind

And tell me how it feels to be the lonely one for once
And tell me how it feels to be the only one in love
The only, the only

Oh, baby, baby, baby, oh
I can see your clothes are fading
On the crooked line where we once hung
Oh, baby, baby, baby, oh
You’re old city lights are fading
But there will be another down the road
And I’ll miss your smile and I’ll miss your company
When I’m feeling low
If it’s a test on what it means to live with me
I guess I’ll carry on
I’ll just carry on

So, can you tell me how it feels to be the lonely one for once?
And tell me how it feels to be the only one in love
The only, the lonely one
Tell me how it feels
The only, the only one
You were gonna be the only one
(Tell me how it feels)
The lonely one
You are gonna be the lonely one
