A Lifetime of Loneliness Lyrics by Jackie DeShannon

Come and Get Me (Best of 1958-1980)

0

[Verse 1]
Since you left me
I'm finding out what heartbreak is so
Help me, save me
You are the judge, and I'm your prisoner
[Chorus]
Don't sentence me into a lifetime of loneliness
Without your love
I would die
Without your love
I wouldn't even try
To carry on
[Post-Chorus]
I was born to love you
Spare me a life of loneliness and tears
[Bridge]
For I believe when love is true
One hasn't got the right
To turn to someone new
One hasn't got the right
To break somebody's heart
The way you've broken mine
[Verse 2]
Come back, I want you, need you
Bring back the love you shared with me
Without you, darlin'
I'm such a lonely human being
[Chorus]
Don't sentence me into a lifetime of loneliness
Without your love
I would die
Without your love
I wouldn't every try
To carry on
[Post-Chorus]
I was born to love you
Come to my arms and rescue, rescue me
