Lonely lady one, she run away
|
And number two, she do the same
|
Lady number three walk out on me
|
Like number four
|
Who's keeping score?
|
|
Lady five, oh how she lied
|
She made me pay some dues
|
Six and seven, eight, nine, ten
|
They really were bad news
|
Oh no, they'd only break my heart
|
That's how it seems
|
And then I finally came upon
|
A lady seventeen
|
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
She stayed a while
|
She had the style
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
She got to be with lonely me
|
Lonely
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
Yeah
|
Lonely lady!
|
|
Ladies eleven, twelve and thirteen
|
They came and went
|
Baby, I still can hear them sayin'
|
"It's time to repent"
|
I turned around and there she was
|
With such a sweet surprise
|
A lovin' face, lovin' smile
|
And love lights in her eyes
|
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
You stayed a while
|
You had the style
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
Come on and be with lonely me
|
|
Oh no
|
When lady fourteen walked out
|
That's when I screamed
|
I had no luck with lady fifteen
|
Or sweet sixteen
|
|
But lonely lady number seventeen
|
You stayed a while
|
You had the style
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
Come and and be with lonely me
|
|
Lonely
|
Lonely lady number seventeen
|
Yeah
|
Lonely lady
|
She makes me feel so sociable
|
Lonely lady
|
Number seventeen
|
Yes
|
Lonely lady, lonely
|
Lonely lady
|
Number seventeen
|
