[Verse 1]

Thought I was the only one

Guess I was mistaken

You treated me like a queen

I never ever felt that you'd betray me

She is your girl

And I am your girl

How could this be

You were using me to cheat on her


[Chorus]

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you

I'd sleep out in the cold

Before lying in bed with you

I'd take the lonely road

Before taking any rides with you

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you


[Verse 2]

All the times you spent the night

With your head laying beside me

And just when I was waking to the morning light

A note instead surprised me

She is your fool (she is your fool)

But I am no fool (I am no fool)

And I was alone

And all the things you said they weren't true


[Chorus]

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you

I'd sleep out in the cold

Before lying in bed with you

I'd take the lonely road

Before taking any rides with you

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you

(Ooh, yes)

All the things you said, they weren't true


[Chorus (x4)]

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you

I'd sleep out in the cold (the cold)

Before lying in bed with you

I'd take the lonely road

Before taking any rides with you

I'd rather be alone

Than being in love with you
