[Verse 1]
I don't love you enough to be your lover
But I love you too much to be your friend
And I know we won't end up with each other
But selfishly I wanna be the one that leaves you wondering
[Chorus]
I want you to stay lonely
'Cause if I can't have you nobody else should have you
I want you to stay lonely
'Cause I wanna be the one and only girl that you think about
And that you couldn't get off your mind even if you tried
I know it's wrong to be leading you on
Baby, I know it's wrong to be leading you on
When I don't want you to stay with me
I just want you to stay lonely
[Verse 2]
I know this can't go on forever
Someday I'm gonna move on, you're gonna move on too
It's just jealousy taking over me, got me lying through my teeth
When I say I want what's best for you
[Chorus]
I really want you to stay lonely
'Cause if I can't have you
Nobody else should have you, ooh, oh, yeah, ooh
I want you to stay lonely
'Cause I wanna be the one and only girl that you think about
And that you couldn't get off your mind even if you tried
I know it's wrong to be leading you on
Baby, I know it's wrong to be leading you on
When I don't want you to stay with me
I just want you to stay lonely
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, babe, babe, stay lonely, lonely
Hey, hey, babe, babe, stay lonely, lonely
Hey, babe, stay lonely, lonely
Hey, hey, babe, babe, stay
[Chorus]
I want you to stay lonely
'Cause if I can't have you nobody else should have you
I want you to stay lonely
'Cause I wanna be the one and only girl that you think about
And that you couldn't get off your mind even if you tried
I know it's wrong to be leading you on
Baby, I know it's wrong to be leading you on
When I don't want you to stay with me
I just want you to stay lonely
[Outro]
Hey, hey, babe, babe, stay lonely, lonely
Hey, hey, babe, babe, stay lonely, lonely
I don't love you enough to be your lover
But I love you too much to be your friend
I don't love you enough to be your lover
But I love you too much to be your friend
