Setting Yourself Up To Be Lonely

Setting Yourself Up To Be Lonely
lyrics and music by Patrick W. Carr

You've been a fool, you've been cruel
You've been withholding your love
From the one who used to think the world of you
She had a love that was so deep
But now that's grown cold
And you're SETTING YOURSELF UP TO BE LONELY

You had a real fine lover
One so sweet and kind
She would've done anything for you
But you treated her bad, made her sad
Now you've made that one lose her love
And you're SETTING YOURSELF UP TO BE LONELY

You may be wealthy and have the fine things in life
You may be free to go anywhere you choose
But what good is freedom if you've got no one to share it
Love is the one thing that you can't afford to lose

Didn't you learn anything
From those who loved you in the past
You have to give love
To get a love that will last
Now the heart's grown cold and the light of love
Is like a candle burning low
And you're SETTING YOURSELF UP TO BE LONELY
