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 most
Is who you're doing it with

That's why, if you don't mind
I'd like to sing these
Words to you, you see

I've got new books to read
But they ain'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
Say but, oh, oh
Please help me through
(The lonely nights) well

And, honey, I think you
Ought to know this too

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, baby
You heard me

You know you're my crutch
I need your sweet touch
Then it gets to the night time again
Lord, when will it end

I'll make it through the day, darling
Say but, oh, you just don't know
Nothing about (the lonely nights)

Oh, somebody, help me out there
And, girl, I got to say this to you
Sometimes I even talk to myself
I say...

Well now, night go away
Please hurry up, day
Cause my night lite burns
And I toss and turn

You see, I just can't sleep
At night no more, girl

And 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 made it through the day, darling
Yes, I did

Please help me
Through (the lonely nights)
