There was a time I thought I knew
About life and what to do
And now It's plain I know nothing at all
I should have known better

But I took it all on blind faith
And now the bad guys have all run away

Lonely won't leave me alone
Tried I tried but you won't let go
It's a pain that won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone

There was a time I had pride
I had friends stood by my side
And a smile was all I had to give
Under a spell under a cloud
I fell in with the wrong crowd
And so I guess I learned my lesson well

Lonely won't leave me alone
Tried I tried but you won't let go
It's a pain that won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone

Chalkin' days on the wall
Seems this night won't end at all
For me patience leaves
Trace your smile on the glass
Try to make it all last
Till I come home again

Lonely won't leave me alone
Tried I tried but you won't let go
It's a pain that won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone

There was a time I thought I knew
About life and what to do
