[ Featuring Martha Reeves, the Vandellas ]
Every single time you take me out with you
You always flirt around with someone new
But I never criticize the tearful things you do
'Cause I'm so afraid of losing you
But in my lonely room, tears I don't have to hide
'Cause I just lock my door and let myself go
And lay right down and cry
Every place we go, people are whispering
About your flirting ways, & it hurts me so to hear
But in the public's eye I just push behind all my hurt inside
And pretend i don't mind
But in my lonely room, tears I don't have to hide
In my lonely lonely lonely lonely room
I push my pride aside and lay right down & cry
In my lonely room, in my lonely room
Let myself go, lay right down and cry
