Lonely Words

Pete Townshend

    Continues after the ad

    I'm afraid I spoke too soon again
    Thought it important to explain
    Now I'm gazing at my lonely words

    I spent the night in there layin' there
    All over the floor like cutoff hair
    And I can't take back my lonely words

    Don't take them in
    My lonely words
    Please don't befriend
    My lonely words

    The things I've said don't stay with me
    They live alone in anarchy
    I can't help to cushion lonely words

    Continues after the ad

    But I am still in love with you
    Nothing I said in fear was true
    Please don't you befriend my lonely words

    Don't take them in
    My lonely words
    Please don't befriend
    My lonely words

    In a sandstorm, words are wind born
    Lonely sheets torn, from a love alone
    Journal full of plans, that should melt in your hands
    Oh...

    I'm afraid I spoke too soon again
    (The things I've said don't stay with me)
    I thought it important to try to explain
    (They live alone in anarchy)
    Now I'm gazing at my lonely words
    (I can't help to cushion lonely words)
    I spent the night in there layin' there
    (I am still in love with you)
    All over the floor like cutoff hair
    (Nothing I said in fear was true)
    I can't take back my lonely words
    (Please don't you befriend my lonely words)

    Oh, don't take them in
    My lonely words
    Please don't befriend
    My lonely words
    Don't take them in, please don't take in
    My lonely words
    Please don't befriend, don't befriend
    My lonely words

    Don't take them in
    My lonely words
    Please don't befriend
    My lonely words
