FIND A QUIET PLACE (AND BE LONELY)
(M. Davis / C. Bell)


Melvin Davis - 1965





You've been playing a game a long time
Using this old heart of mine
But I'm not gonna let'cha do it anymore
Not gonna try to even the score
I'm gonna find a quiet place
And be lonely
Baby, and be lonely
My-my-my-my-my baby
Gonna be lonely

I'm not gonna try to get you back
That, my baby, leads down a one-way track
I know for certain you'd hurt me again
There's only one way I know I can win
And that's find a quiet place
Ah, baby, to be lonely
Baby, be lonely
My-my-my-my baby
And be lonely

(Instrumental Break)
My babe, my baby

Baby, I'm so lonely
Just when I think you're gonna be true
That's when you do the things you do
Well, I no longer wanta feel like that
I'm gettin' my coat and I'm gettin' my hat
Find a quiet place, ah, somewhere, baby
To be lonely
Baby, find a quiet place to be lonely
Lonely, well, after what I've done, baby
Here I sit in my lonely room
Four walls enclose me like a tomb, baby
