Lonely Too Long

Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee

(G. Harrison - K. Staley)

Sit down and talk to me, baby

Everything else can wait

Something's gotta change here

Before it's too late

We've been living here together

But we've grown so far apart

Where's the fire, where's the passion

That burns in our heart.

I've been lonely too long

I've always believe, that leaving was wrong

But I'm too weary, to keep holding on

I've been lonely too long.

God knows I still love you

Deep down in my soul

But these years of silent treatment

Have taken their toll

No, I just can't keep on giving

You've got to meet me halfway

If you don't love me, if you don't need me

There's no reason to stay.

I've been lonely too long

I've always believe, that leaving was wrong

Now I'm too weary, to keep holding on

I've been lonely too long.

I've I've I've I've been lonely too long

I've always believe, that leaving was wrong

Now I'm too weary, to keep holding on

I've been lonely too long.

I've I've been lonely lonely too long

I've always believe, that leaving was wrong

Now I'm too weary, to keep holding on

I've been lonely too long...
