Tonight when I get through at work I'll just head straight on home I'll fix a bite and try to eat then I'll pick up the phone I'll try to find out where she went I must know how she's been That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man The mind of a lonely man when he's alone like me All day it counts mistakes he's made all night it counts bad dreams I meant to treat my darlin' right somehow I failed my plans That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man Tomorrow I'll wake up at six I'll rise without a groan Punch in at work by eight o'clock just like there's nothin' wrong If I work hard enough maybe the work will help me stand All these thoughts of a lonely lonely man My beggin' her might not be smart but it makes sense to me Bein' smart won't help me much if she don't come back to me Oh what I'd give to see her face or touch her gentle hand That's the thoughts of a lonely lonely man That's the thoughts of this lonely lonely man
