BACKSTREET BOYS - SHOW ME THE MEANING OF BEING LONELY

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely

So Many Words For The Broken Heart
It's Hard To See In A Crimson Love
So Hard To Breathe, Walk With Me, And Maybe

Nights Of Light, So Soon Become
Wild And Free I Can Feel The Sun
Your Every Wish Will Be Done They Tell Me

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
Is This The Feeling, I Need To Walk With?
Tell Me Why, I Can't Be There Where You Are
There's Something Missing In My Heart

Life Goes On, As It Never Ends
Eyes Of Stone Observe The Trends
They Never Say "Forever Gaze If Only"

Guilty Roads To An Endless Love (Endless Love)
There's No Control Are You With Me Now?
Your Every Wish Will Be Done They Tell Me

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
Is This The Feeling, I Need To Walk With? (Tell Me Why)
Tell Me Why, I Can't Be There Where You Are
There's Something Missing In My Heart

There's Nowhere To Run, I Have No Place To Go
Surrender My Heart Body And Soul
How Can It Be You're Asking Me To Feel The Things

Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Whoa-Oh-Oh

You Are Missing In My Heart
Tell Me Why Can't I Be There Where You Are

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely (Being Lonely)
Is This The Feeling, I Need To Walk With? (Tell Me Why)
Tell Me Why, I Can't Be There Where You Are (Where You Are)
There's Something Missing In My Heart (You Are Missing In My Heart)

Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely (Being Lonely)
Is This The Feeling, I Need To Walk With? (Tell Me Why)
Tell Me Why (Can't Be There), I Can't Be There Where You Are
(Where You Are) There's Something Missing In My Heart

Written By Swedish Hitmakers Max Martin And Herbie Crichlow, This Pop/R&B Ballad Finds The Backstreet Boys Struggling With Feelings Of Loneliness After A Breakup. Martin Also Co-Produced The Track With Kristian Lundin, His Collaborator On The Group's Earlier Hits, "As Long As You Love Me" And "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)."

This was released as the third single from the boy band's second US album, but eager fans got their first taste of the tune when it was previewed at the end of Britney Spears' debut album, ...Baby One More Time. This was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 2001 ceremony but lost to "Cousin Dupree" by Steely Dan.
