It took a little loneliness
To make you realize
That all the mean things that you did
To me were so unwise

(It took a little loneliness)

To make you feel my dear
The way my poor eyes burned each time
You made me she'd a tear

[VERSE 3]

I did everything I could
To please you night and day
But you cheated and you lied until
You drove my love away

[VERSE 4]

Now a little loneliness
Is all that you posess
You've lost the one who tried so hard
To bring you happiness

[BRIDGE]

[Repeat VERSE 3]

[Repeat VERSE 4]

But someone knew that you'd turn to
Had made you feel this way
And now all you have left is
Loneliness
