Lonely Words - Pete Townshend

I’m afraid I spoke too soon again

Thought it important to explain

Now I’m gazing at my lonely words

I spent the night in there layin' there

All over the floor like cutoff hair

And I can’t take back my lonely words

Don’t take them in

My lonely words

Please don’t befriend

My lonely words

The things I’ve said don’t stay with me

They live alone in anarchy

I can’t help to cushion lonely words

But I am still in love with you

Nothing I said in fear was true

Please don’t you befriend my lonely words

Don’t take them in

My lonely words

Please don’t befriend

My lonely words

In a sandstorm, words are wind born

Lonely sheets torn, from a love alone

Journal full of plans, that should melt in your hands

Oh…

I’m afraid I spoke too soon again

(The things I’ve said don’t stay with me)

I thought it important to try to explain

(They live alone in anarchy)

Now I’m gazing at my lonely words

(I can’t help to cushion lonely words)

I spent the night in there layin' there

(I am still in love with you)

All over the floor like cutoff hair

(Nothing I said in fear was true)

I can’t take back my lonely words

(Please don’t you befriend my lonely words)

Oh, don’t take them in

My lonely words

Please don’t befriend

My lonely words

Don’t take them in, please don’t take in

My lonely words

Please don’t befriend, don’t befriend

My lonely words

Don’t take them in

My lonely words

Please don’t befriend

My lonely words
