[Verse] Girl, I'm so lonesome tonight I was just lying here wondering where you are And what you're doing And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most Is who yer don' it with That's why, if you don't mind I'd like to sing these words to you, see I've got new books to read But they aren't what I need And this picture of you Just won't do, no, no, baby And the postcards you send would never (never) mend The pain in my heart when we're apart Girl I can make it through the day But oh, please help me through the lonely nights When I'm on my job It's not too hard But when I go home And I'm all alone (and I'm by myself babe you heard me) You know you're my crutch I need you're sweet touch Then it gets the night time again Lord when will it end I'll make it through the day say, but oh You don't know nothing about the lonely nights Well now night go away please hurry up day Cause my night light burns and I toss and turn Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV I don't know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you I can make it through the day Please help me through the lonely night
