As Good As a Lonely Girl Can Be

Loretta Lynn · Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man (Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty) [1973]

Tell me darling, have I been away too long

I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home

Have you missed me? I kind of hope you would

And jokingly I ask, are you being good?



I'm being good as lonely girl can be

And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be.

To lie here beside him, oh Lord, how sweet love can be

I'm being good as lonely girl can be.



It was just too much for me, I should've known

You were just too much a woman to be alone

I just realized I love you much too late

And Lord, it's killing me to hear you say.



I'm being good as lonely girl can be

And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be.

To lie here beside him, oh Lord, how sweet love can be

I'm being good as lonely girl can be.



Tell me darling have I been away too long

I know I was wrong to leave

But now all I wanna do is come back home

You're just too much to me I know I should've known.



You were just too much woman for me to leave alone...
