(Ralph Burns Kellogg)

Lonely, lonely tears by my bed

You know I never call you

You call me instead

Sadness, sadness please go away

Every time you call me

The longer you stay.

I was never lonely with her by my side

Things are much different now

All I have left is my pride.

With her I thought for sure you were gone for
good

But now I understand, I had just misunderstood.

Lonely, lonely, I wish she'd be back

But now I know she had to go

And I know she can't come back

Someday, some other day, I'll find somebody new

Someone who'll love me and be the death of you.
