Long on Lonely (Short on Pride)

(Bob McDill/Dickie Lee/Bucky Jones)



I'll bet that you're surpised to see me

Wonder what I'm doing at your door

But you can't be more surprised than I am

I thought I didn't need you anymore

Thought there was something waiting out there

Somethin' I wanted but now it's so clear



Baby it's a cold, cold world

Out here tonight

It's nothin' at all like I thought I'd find

So if you wonder why I'm standin' here

I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride



If you slam the door, I wouldn't blame you

You've got every reason to turn me down

I was so sure I had the answers

After what I've been through, I'm not sure now

I won't say I love you, don't know if it's true

I'll just say I need you, God knows I do



Baby it's a cold, cold world

Out here tonight

It's nothin' at all like I thought I'd find

So if you wonder why I'm standin' here

I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride



I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride...
