Lyrics
HARD TO BE ALONE
I really need to ask a question
but you have to promise to speak right out
tell me ? do you sometimes feel so alone
and that not a soul in this world has got to know you
It´s sad and painful feeling
sometimes makes you want to cry
and life ? it seems to loose it´s meaning
and that´s enough to make a strong man want to die
It´s so hard to be alone ? so hard to be alone
By that time you need a helping hand
someone who really really really understands you
someone you feel you can lean on to
someone who´s bit stronger than you
Cause it´s hard to be alone etc.
And I need someone to hold
someone to love
I need you
yea someone who cares
someone who dares
I need you ? I need you ? I need you
baby I need you
It´s so hard to be alone ? so hard to be alone etc.
