I'm torn on it. On the one hand, it shouldn't matter, and faithfulness to the original material should be taken into consideration purely as a matter of respect on top of it. However if a chick's screaming 'I'M JUST A LONELY MAN!' it's hard not to giggle and hard not to notice she's indeed not a lonely man, taking away from the power of the song. It might be more powerful to change those lyrics slightly, lest people lose focus.
