Lyrics
HARD TO BE ALONE
I really need to ask a question
but you have to promise to speak right out
tell me ? do you sometimes feel so alone
and that not a soul in this world has got to know you
Itīs sad and painful feeling
sometimes makes you want to cry
and life ? it seems to loose itīs meaning
and thatīs enough to make a strong man want to die
Itīs so hard to be alone ? so hard to be alone
By that time you need a helping hand
someone who really really really understands you
someone you feel you can lean on to
someone whoīs bit stronger than you
Cause itīs hard to be alone etc.
And I need someone to hold
someone to love
I need you
yea someone who cares
someone who dares
I need you ? I need you ? I need you
baby I need you
Itīs so hard to be alone ? so hard to be alone etc.
