Lonely Words - Pete Townshend

I'm afraid I spoke too soon again
Thought it important to explain
Now I'm gazing at my lonely words

I spent the night in there layin' there
All over the floor like cutoff hair
And I can't take back my lonely words

Don't take them in
My lonely words
Please don't befriend
My lonely words

The things I've said don't stay with me
They live alone in anarchy
I can't help to cushion lonely words

But I am still in love with you
Nothing I said in fear was true
Please don't you befriend my lonely words

Don't take them in
My lonely words
Please don't befriend
My lonely words


In a sandstorm, words are wind born
Lonely sheets torn, from a love alone
Journal full of plans, that should melt in your hands
Oh...

I'm afraid I spoke too soon again
(The things I've said don't stay with me)
I thought it important to try to explain
(They live alone in anarchy)
Now I'm gazing at my lonely words
(I can't help to cushion lonely words)
I spent the night in there layin' there
(I am still in love with you)
All over the floor like cutoff hair
(Nothing I said in fear was true)
I can't take back my lonely words
(Please don't you befriend my lonely words)

Oh, don't take them in
My lonely words
Please don't befriend
My lonely words
Don't take them in, please don't take in
My lonely words
Please don't befriend, don't befriend
My lonely words

Don't take them in
My lonely words
Please don't befriend
My lonely words
