[Verse]
Girl, I'm so lonesome tonight
I was just lying here wondering where you are
And what you're doing
And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most
Is who yer don' it with
That's why, if you don't mind
I'd like to sing these words to you, see
I've got new books to read
But they aren't what I need
And this picture of you
Just won't do, no, no, baby
And the postcards you send would never (never) mend
The pain in my heart when we're apart
Girl I can make it through the day
But oh, please help me through the lonely nights
When I'm on my job It's not too hard
But when I go home
And I'm all alone (and I'm by myself babe you heard me)
You know you're my crutch I need you're sweet touch
Then it gets the night time again Lord when will it end
I'll make it through the day say, but oh
You don't know nothing about the lonely nights
Well now night go away please hurry up day
Cause my night light burns and I toss and turn
Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV
I don't know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you
I can make it through the day
Please help me through the lonely night
