Lonely, my life used to be lonely
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Lonely as the single lonely number one
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Lonely like a lonely sun
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
With not even one iota to shine upon
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Crying, deep inside I was crying
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Carrying with it my lonely soul
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
With not even a clue of who,
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
where or what I would become
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
do with my broken life
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
inside my body
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
you in my, my, my, my li-li-life
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Forever greateful for your love
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Money, oh how did I have money
