"Please, come sit down
I need to set you straight
Before we go any further
I’ve learned from loneliness
That lonely can be bitter and lonely can be sweet
Sure, I know I don’t need a man to be complete
And I also know that what I want and what I need
Don’t always meet
But being alone ain’t all that bad
‘Cause see
I’ve been there and I’ve done that
I’m in the midst of an evolution of myself
I was tired of the search
So I had to sit it on the shelf
Lonely can be sweet
Lonely can be sweet
My soul’s music
My life beat
Lonely can be sweet
