Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
Doo...doo...doo...
You better let me tell you
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
Doo...doo...doo...
You better let me tell you

You know some time ago our pathways parted
Now you may have found bliss
But I found regret
Maybe you can smile, maybe even laugh
Yeah, but all the while
I m trying to forget
Tears cannot express my grief nor words my loneliness
For they can only tell apart
Let my heart tell you the rest

I would season every day of my life with you
You better let me tell you
I would show you just what it means to be true, girl
You better let me tell you

Cause after love has come and gone, baby, I m the lonely one
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... [Ooh...ooh...]
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... [Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...]

But why should a man be lonely
[Why should a man be lonely, why should a man be lonely]
When he had someone like you
How can I make you believe
That I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]
Yes, I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]
Oh, I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]

I would sweeten every hour of my day with you
You better let me tell you
I would give you all the things a good lady would need
You better let me tell you

For you I d save up all of my time, give you every dime
For you, girl, you better let me tell you
Cause after love has come and gone, baby, I m the lonely one
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... [Ooh...ooh...]
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... [Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...]

But why should a man be lonely
[Why should a man be lonely, why should a man be lonely]
When he had someone like you
How can I make you believe
That I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]
Yes, I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]
Oh, I got to have you, baby [Got to have you, baby]

I got to travel alone
Down life s highway
Searching faces, some old, some new
Seeking someone whom I need the most
I know there can t be two
Yeah, I m searching for someone
Who s the closest thing to you

Gotta go on, gotta go on
I m so lonely, I gotta go, I m so lonely, gotta go, yeah...
Oh, I just gotta go
I said, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh
I just-just-just-just got to go (I ve got to go, I ve got to go)
I m so lonely (Hey), I gotta go (Oh), I m so lonely, gotta go, yeah...
(Gotta go on, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go, I just gotta go)
Gotta go on, gotta go on
I m so lonely, I gotta go, I m so lonely, yeah...yeah
I ve just gotta go
Hey, hey, got to, got to, oh, I got to, I just to go on
(I ve got to go, I ve got go)
I m so lonely (Hey), I gotta go (Oh)
