I'd rather stay home and cry over you
Than to run around all over town with somebody new
I'd rather stay home, forgotten and blue
Than to look for fun with anyone but you
There's nothing to be glad about, since you went away
So what the use to get about pretending I'm gay
My tears are too real for smiles to conceal
I don't want to roam, I'd rather stay home
I'd rather stay home and cry over you
Than to run around all over town with somebody new
I'd rather stay home, forgotten and blue
Than to look for fun with anyone but you
There's nothing to be glad about, since you went away
So what the use to get about pretending I'm gay
My tears are too real for smiles to conceal
I don't want to roam, I'd rather stay home
