I hear it on the radio everywhere I go
They tell me I`m a loser to be alone
The silver screen and Seventeen say I`m supposed to be
2 not 1 in a lifetime of afterglow
Don`t wait, don`t wait
Hurry into another mistake
I`m taking my time, I know what I mean
I made up my mind, now I believe
It`s better to be lonely
One look and I`m giving out my number
One kiss and I`m calling you mine
The next thing I know I`m going under
Why do I need that misery, I think I believe
It`s better to be lonely
They used to say that fools rush in and I swear I`ve been
The fool that wanted someone else to make me whole
And I don`t mind hanging out with me, I like the company
Someday I`ll find someone who will move my soul
`Til then, `til then
I`m not jumping in again
I`m taking my time, I know what I mean
I made up my mind, now I believe
It`s better to be lonely
One look and I`m giving out my number
One kiss and I`m calling you mine
The next thing I know I`m going under
Why do I need that misery, I think I believe
It`s better to be lonely
