Lonely People Do Foolish Things

(R. Ahlert - E. Snyder)



Why do I wait for your call every night

Sit next to a phone that never rings

I do, because I'm lonely

And lonely people do foolish things.



Why do I sit with your picture in sight

When I know all the heartache it brings

I do, because I'm lonely

And lonely people do foolish things.



I find myself at a table for two pretending your still there

I carry on a conversation with you

Pour out my heart to an empty chair

Why do I go on fooling myself

When I know what tomorrow will bring.



One more day I'll be lonely, and lonely people

Ah, lonely people do foolish things

One more day I'll be lonely

And lonely people, yes, lonely people do foolish things...
