The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
|
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
|
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
|
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
|
And that's what it's like to be lonesome without your love it's such an empty world
|
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
|
[ steel ]
|
You search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud
|
You try to lose your heartache in the laughter of the crowd
|
But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been
|
And you have to fight the teardrops till you're by yourself again
|
And that's what it's like...
