In My Lonely Room Lyrics

In My Lonely Room
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Eddie Holland)

Every single time you take me out with you
You always flirt around with someone new
But I never criticize the tearful things you do
'Cause I'm so afraid of losing you
But in my lonely room, tears I don't have to hide
'Cause I just lock my door & let myself go
& lay right down & cry
(instrumental)

Every place we go, people are whispering
About your flirting ways, & it hurts me so to hear
But in the public's eye I just push behind all my hurt inside
& pretend i don't mind

But in my lonely room, tears I don't have to hide
In my lonely lonely lonely lonely room
I push my pride aside & lay right down & cry
In my lonely room, in my lonely room
Let myself go, lay right down & cry
...& fade
