If I Have To Be Alone Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

If I have to be alone 

Then I should make my mind serene 

After all you're born alone, you die alone 

You might as well spend every moment in between alone 

But if I have to be alone 

Then it will be on my own terms 

I can never talk about it, ever show it 

Even though the world is watching while I squirm alone 

And your bleeding heart friends say, "isn't it sad? " 

Then they go make love 

While you go insane. insane! 

It drives you mad! mad!

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

My mind, I love my mind 

And if no one can feel the same 

I'm a computer with a name 

And I've got no one else to blame 

If I have to be alone 

And if nobody understands 

That special creature that is me 

And if they fail to see the me I see 

Then no one else knows truly what it is 

To be alone 

Maybe once in a lifetime you lose your will 

Then you can let down your guard 

But they cower in fear. in fear. 

It makes you ill! ill!

My heart, my burning heart 

And if no one will quench the flame 

I'm not obliged to do the same 

And then they'll have to share the blame 

Because I have to be alone 

Because I have to be alone 

But I don't want to be alone
