Happy Being Lonely Lyrics by The Chi-Lites

1976

Feeling down
In a devil mood
It just seems somehow
Nothing turns out good
Had my place all clean
Took the memories from my life
And rearranged my things
Down to every fork and knife
And then you
Turned the corner of my street yesterday
Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say
I thought that my heart was cold and I liked it that way
I was happy being lonely
Don't know how
Oh oh I was happy being lonely
Until now
Used to be
I'd set my alarm
Read and go to sleep
Not need someone's arms
Now I think of you
Making love to me through the night
I take a pill or two
But I don't even close my eyes
Because you
Turned the corner of my street yesterday
Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say
I thought I had buried all of those feelings away
I was happy being lonely
Don't know how
Oh oh I was happy being lonely
Until now
You turned the corner of my street yesterday
Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say
I thought I had buried all of those feelings away
I was happy being lonely
Don't know how
Oh oh I was happy being lonely
Until now
You turned the corner of my street yesterday
Smiled at me and had some sweet things to say
I thought I had buried all of those feelings away
I was happy being lonely
Don't know how
Oh oh I was happy being lonely
Until now
