Oh,
it's not that I don't love you, I do
Though it seems that I don't care
I just need some time to clear my
mind I've got to get some air
Right now I don't feel like talking
No, I don't feel
much like having fun
I just want to be alone, on my own
And spend some time with the number one
I need to be by myself,
so I can work this out
I don't need anyone on my mind,
to think about
I just need some space,
I need a quiet place
To sit down and work it all out
One of us must take a vacation
Some body's got to leave
We're killing our love with
suffocation
Can't you see that I need room to breathe
Oh, I got to be by myself
so I can work this out
I need to open up
Don't need anyone on
my mind to think about
I just need some time for me,
myself and I
It don't have to be goodbye
I need to be by myself
so I can work this out
I need to be by myself
I don't need anyone on my
mind to think about
I just need some space,
I need a quiet place
To sit down and work it all out
If we take a second look,
who knows what we'll see
Just cause it's right for you,
don't mean it's right for me
I gotta be by myself,
I need to be
Oh, by myself, I need to be
Gotta be by myself, I need to be
Hey, I need some time
For me, myself and I
I don't want to be living a lie
When I'd rather be by myself
So I can work this out
I need to be by myself
I don't need anyone on
my mind to think about
I just need some time
For me, myself and I
This don't have to be
goodbye
Gotta be by myself
So I can work this out
I need to be by myself
Don't want anyone on my mind
To have to think about
I just need some space
I need a quiet place
To sit down
Work it all out
Baby
I need to be
By myself
I need to be
By myself
Can't you see
I need to be
I need to be
I need to be
be
Won't you let me be
I need
to be
I need to be
I need to be
I gotta be
I'm leaving you be
I'm leaving
It depends on you
If I ever return,
but I gotta be by myself
I wanna be by myself
I need to be by myself
By myself
Hey, I gotta be by myself
I never leave by myself
I gotta be by myself
I need to be by myself
By myself, I'd be healthy
By myself, I'd be down
I'd good
By myself
