She's on the phone again

Wants to come home again

Wants to try one more time

To prove she's really mine

She wants to try again

I know she'll lie again

To take her back is wrong

But I've been lonely too long



The chance is very slim

That she's forgotten him

She may be tryin' to hide

The hurt, the wounded pride

There's just a chance that she

Might reconsider me

But chances are I'm wrong

But I've been lonely too long



Lonely too long, too long

Walked on like dirt

Lonely too long, too long

And oh, how it hurts

She knows that I'll give in

I'll take her back again

And once more I'll be wrong

But I've been lonely too long
