(Jon Randall, Gary Nicholson)

They say the only cure for losing a woman
Is another woman
But I'm not so sure that's true
Anyone could look in these eyes and know
I got a long way to go
Before I am over you
The only thing that's gonna help
Is a little time to myself

(CHORUS)

I just need to be lonely for awhile
Take the time to dig down deep and find an honest smile
I don't want to try to pretend
I'm ready to love again
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

Friends keep settin' me up with friends
But another friend
Ain't what I need right now
I need to start looking back inside
Try to find the pride
I lost when you walked out
I gotta learn to love myself
Before I can love anyone else

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I just need a little time to cry
And find a way to say goodbye
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile
