Girl, I'm so lonesome tonight
|
I was just lyin' here wonderin' where you are
|
And what you're doin'
|
And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most
|
Is who yer don' it with
|
That's why, if you don't mind,
|
I'd like to sing these words to ya, ya see
|
I've got new books to read
|
But they ain't what I need
|
And this picture of you
|
Just won't do, no, no, baby
|
And the postcards you send would never (never) mend
|
The pain in my heart when we're apart
|
Girl I can make it thru the day
|
But oh, please help me thru the lonely nites
|
When I'm on my job It's not too hard
|
But when I go home
|
And I'm all alone (and I'm by myself babe you heard me)
|
You know you're my crutch I need you're sweet touch
|
Then it gets the nite time again Lord when will it end
|
I'll make it thru the day say, but oh
|
You don't know nothin' about the lonely nites
|
Well now nite go away please hurry up day
|
Cause my nite lite burns and I toss and turn
|
Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV
|
I don't know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you
|
I can make it thru the day
|
Please help me thru the lonely nite
|
