I saw you out late last night
Like a child in the rain
You were looking for a love
That would not cause you pain

In a world that don't believe in much
I was someone you could trust
But you turned me loose, God knows why
Is there nothing left between us?

I tried to understand
But my heart, it just wouldn't go along
If that's what you call lovin'
Then I would rather be alone

I'd have sacrificed everything for you
I didn't want to leave your side
But when you'd given me up all I could do
Was hold on to my pride

Well, I'm not one for wasting time
Living on regrets
But you're the missing piece of this broken heart
Someone I can't forget

When you turned and walked away
My heart, it was sinking, sinking like a stone
If that's what you call lovin'
Then I would rather be alone

When you turned and walked away
My heart, it was sinking, sinking like a stone
And if that's what you call lovin', child
Then I would rather be alone
