(Loretta Lynn)

Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do

But that's before my baby said we're through

It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start

That's how it is when lonely hits your heart

I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man

The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand

To him it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart

That's how it is when lonely hits your heart

[ guitar - piano ]

I spent my nights a crying while he was running round

My heart was the first place lonely found

I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start

That's how it is when lonely hits your heart

I've become a fallen girl...
