To be lonely, it's a crime I said to be lonely, Oh honey, it's so bad To be without a lover To be without a lover It's been so long since I've been down My woman left me and now she's gone If you didn't love me You should have told me so And if you didn't need me Then why, why didn't you let me know To be lonely, it's a crime I said to be lonely, Oh honey, it's so bad To be without a lover To be without a love To be without a love Oh baby, is it something wrong I've done Then why, why don't you come home And see what's going on
