I thought that I could live without the money.
I said it each and everyday.
I thought that I could sing songs of freedom,
And watch it all float away.
I'm sick and tired of being lonely.
Even if you love me everyday.
I'm sick of thinking who I wanna be, and I just wanna be.
I don't wanna be a rich man,
I just wanna know that I got what I need.
I don't wanna be a loner,
I just wanna know how to be alone.
Can you show me how to be alone?
They say the grass is always greener,
And everything I see is gray.
I've been walking toward that distant light,
Just another day.
I can hear you saying walk right.
Everybody's saying walk right.
I don't wanna be a rich man,
I just wanna know that I got what I need.
I don't wanna be a loner,
I just wanna know how to be alone.
Can you show me to be alone?
I can hear you saying walk right.
Everybody's saying walk right.
I don't wanna be a rich man,
I just wanna know that I got what I need.
I don't wanna be a loner,
I just wanna know how to be alone.
Can you show me how to be alone?
