I'm used to loneliness At least I thought I was No happiness Can replace the sorrow I feel I saw her again as she went Around the corner there I mourn her, yeah I'd found some peacefulness At least I thought I had Sweet peacefulness I thought that ol' wound would have healed Now, just 'cause I saw her I'm crying I have had my fill I mourn her still A long (A long) Long time (Time gone) Abandoned me (Abandoned me) Now I'm (Now I'm) Denied (Denied) Her pleasantries (Her pleasantries) I'll keep on cryin' a life and a day This ain't the way I should behave I thought it'd always last Oh yeah, I'm sure I did I was wrong I guess Lacked that everlasting appeal Now somebody holds her and loves her Like I did before While I weep and mourn But baby, I just can't help myself
