This introspective song flips the negative connotation we associate with the word “lonely.”
Loneliness for Jamila represents a place where she can quietly ponder, practice self-love, and even mourn.
Pitchfork has this to say about the song in its review of the album:
On “Lonely Lonely” she may be...
[Verse 1: Jamila Woods]
Lonely, lonely how I be
Lonely, lonely cuts so deep
Say don't take from me my quiet
Don't take from me my tears
Don't take from me my trials
Don't take from me my fears
[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
I could be crazy
But my crazy is my own
My own, my own
You think I'm crazy
I'll be crazy on my own
My own, my own
[Verse 2: Jamila Woods]
I put a sun in my lamp
I put a post-it note on my mirror
So I might love myself
So I might be enough today
I'm not OK, thanks for asking
I can tell I've said too much I'm out of touch
Guess no one ever really wants to know
[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
I could be crazy
But my crazy is my own
My own, my own
You think I'm crazy
I'll be crazy on my own
My own, my own
[Verse 3: Jamila Woods]
I don't wanna wait for my life to be over
To let myself feel the way I feel
I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over
To love myself however I feel
[Outro: Lorine Chia, Jamila Woods]
A place where I'm alone
I could be crazy
Searching for a place where I belong
I get lost when I'm alone
You think I'm crazy
I get lost when I'm alone
Searching for a place where I belong
When I feel, when I feel, when I feel alone
When I feel, when I feel, when I feel
When I feel, I said when I feel
Alone, alone
