A woman left lonely Will soon grow tired of waiting She'll do crazy things On lonely occasions A simple conversation With a strange man now and again Makes a touchy situation With her conscience now and then And when she gets lonely She's thinkin' 'bout her man She knows he's takin' her for granted And she just don't understand Well, the fevers of the night They burn an unloved woman All those red-hot flames Drive a sweet temptation A woman left lonely She's just the victim of her man He can't keep up his own world She does the best that she can And a woman left lonely Is lonely through and through All along she conquers All the hell he put her through A woman left lonely A woman left lonely She's just a victim of her man She gets tired waiting All alone she's just waiting
