Text: Janet Jackson. Rhythm Nation 1814. Lonely.
Feeling so alone and deserted
With people standing all around you
Should I trust someone?
Should I stay off to myself?
Alone with no one to talk to
It's such a helpless feeling
So anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
'Cause everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely
So don't isolate yourself
Every time that I come around
A person all alone is an unhappy one
We need somebody near to love us
Someone who cares
Living life all by yourselves
Impossible to do and I'll be there for you
Anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
'Cause everybody needs a friend
And I'll be yours if you're lonely
If you're all alone and a friend, you need
Like a river flows, you hurt, I'll bleed
If you trust in me, we can find a way
Take away the pain, time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'Cause happiness is, oh, so hard to find
If you're lonely, I will be there
When you call for me, be there for you
So anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
Everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely
Don't be shy call on me
When you need a friend, you can call on me
Never let you down, never let you down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
If you're all alone and a friend, you need
I'll be there for you, be there for you
Baby, baby
If you're all alone and a friend, you need
Like a river flows, you hurt, I'll bleed
If you trust in me, we can find a way
Take away the pain, time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'Cause happiness is, oh, so hard to find
With people standing all around you

Should I stay off to myself?
Alone with no one to talk to
