Barenaked Ladies - Grim Grinning Ghosts lyrics

There you are

In a darkened room

And you’re all alone

Looking out the window

Your heart is cold and lost the will to love

Like a broken arrow

Here I stand in the shadows

Come to me, come to me

Can’t you see that

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

My body’s longing to hold you

So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slipping away

And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why

Why don’t you let me love you

Can you hear my voice

Do you hear my song

It’s a serenade

So your heart can find me

And suddenly your flying down the stairs

Into my arms, baby

Before I start going crazy

Run to me, run to me

Cause I’m dying

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

My body’s longing to hold you

So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slipping away

And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why

Why don’t you let me love you

I want to feel you need me

Just like the air you’re breathing

I need you here in my life

Don’t walk away, don’t walk away

Don’t walk away, don’t walk away

No, no, no, no

Nobody wants to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

Nobody wants to be lonely

I don’t want to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry

I don’t want to cry

My body’s longing to hold you

I’m longing to hold you

So bad it hurts inside

Time is precious and it’s slipping away

And I’ve been waiting for you all of my life

Nobody wants to be lonely so why

Why don’t you let me love you

Why don’t you let me love you

Why, oh why, why, why, why, why

Nobody wants to be lonely

I don’t want to cry

Nobody wants to cry

My body’s longing to hold you

So bad it hurts inside

Nobody wants to be lonely

I don’t want to be lonely

Nobody wants to cry
