I’ve been alone too long
Sitting by myself
I’m getting to old
To help myself

But I won’t be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won’t be hangin round
To feel the pain
And if you take my life in hand
And finally make me understand
It won’t do no good
You’ll just hurt my plan

And I won’t be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won’t be hangin rond
To feel the pain

Sometimes I think I can’t go on
And every day I live
Well it seems like my life’s unreal
Sometimes I think I won’t live too long
But I hope I’m wrong
That’s the way I feel

And I won’t be hangin round your door
Begging
No I won’t be hangin round
To steal a kiss
I won’t be hanging round your door
Begging
No i won’t be hangin round
To feel the pain
No I won’t be hangin round your door
Begging
Oh I won’t be hangin round
To feel the pain
