Stay away from lonely places And follow the crowd Stay around familiar faces And play the music loud Be seen at all the parties And dress yourself in style Stay away from lonely places for a while Stay away from lonely places 'Til you learn to live alone Someone's outstretched arms are waiting To stay with you at least 'til dawn Remember that sorrow prospers in a heart that never smiles So stay away from lonely places for a while Stay away from lonely places It takes time to learn to live alone And someone's outstretched arms are waiting To stay with you at least 'til dawn And remember that sorrow prospers in a heart that never smiles So stay away from lonely places for a while
