Happy Being Lonely - The Chi-Lites

Feeling down

In a devil mood

It just seems somehow

Nothing turns out good

Had my place all clean

Took the memories from my life

And rearranged my things

Down to every fork and knife

And then you

Turned the corner of my street yesterday

Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say

I thought that my heart was cold and I liked it that way

I was happy being lonely

Don’t know how

Oh oh I was happy being lonely

Until now

Used to be

I’d set my alarm

Read and go to sleep

Not need someone’s arms

Now I think of you

Making love to me through the night

I take a pill or two

But I don’t even close my eyes

Because you

Turned the corner of my street yesterday

Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say

I thought I had buried all of those feelings away

I was happy being lonely

Don’t know how

Oh oh I was happy being lonely

Until now

You turned the corner of my street yesterday

Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say

I thought I had buried all of those feelings away

I was happy being lonely

Don’t know how

Oh oh I was happy being lonely

Until now

You turned the corner of my street yesterday

Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say

I thought I had buried all of those feelings away

I was happy being lonely

Don’t know how

Oh oh I was happy being lonely

Until now
