Lonely, Lonely, Lonely Me
Brenda Lee · Legends of Rock, Vol. 2 [Coral] [1974]
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
Broken hearted as can be
Ah, my baby's gone, everything's wrong
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
Why did I ever set you free
I played the fool, broke every rule
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
I end up crying, and trying
To find another love that's true
But when it's over, all over
I know I'll still be loving you.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
How I'm lost in misery
My poor heart will yearn until your return
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
I end up crying, and trying
To find another love that's true
But when it's over, all over
I know I'll still be loving you.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me
How I'm lost in misery
My poor heart will yearn until your return
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me.
Lonely, lonely, lonely me...
Lonely, Lonely, Lonely Me
