I sing alone in my room
When I'm trying to work out my gloom
But gospel and jazz and rhythm and blues
The songs that I sing remind me of you
I wonder if you hear my cry
Do you know how deep it's hurting inside
Well in case you're not listening
I'm sadder than billie's last blues

I thought that in love I was wise
But lately I've been paralyzed
Your leaving me sure ain't the end of the world
But I'm too melancholy to find a new girl
So I'll ignore the flowers in bloom
And pretend that there's no full moon
And until I'm ready I'll just sing alone in my room

I know that I should have more pride
But lately I've been paralyzed
Your leaving me sure ain't the end of the world
But I'm too melancholy to find a new girl
So I'll ignore the flowers in bloom
And pretend that there's no full moon
So until I'm stronger I'll just sing alone in my room
If the lonely lasts longer you'll me alone in my room
Since you left me solo
I'll just sing alone in my room
