I might have nothing left but I don't ever want to beg of you
And when you pass me by don't look into my eyes the way you do
It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away
And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain
I'm so impatient and I want to have you all to myself
I'll sing a lament as I sink into the night behind the walls
Oh well
It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away
And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain
I might have nothing left but I don't ever want to beg of you
And what it meant to me was feelings I just can't explain
Heaven-sent to me, Love
Would nothing stop the rain
It takes a lot of nerve to act like you're the only one who feels any kind of pain
Love in vain

By the way that it feels when you're looking right at me
When you're looking right at me, baby
Is it meant to be real or will this leave me empty
Leave me so empty
So, girl, do as you will, still the thought is so tempting
So tempting
To fall head-over-heels, that kind of love is everything
That love is everything
I might have nothing left but I don't ever want to beg of you
Beg of you
And when you pass me by don't look into my eyes the way you do
Don't look at me unless you're trying to tell me you love me
It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
I'm so impatient and I want to have you all to myself
To myself
I'll sing a lament as I sink into the night behind the walls
Oh well
Oh well, oh well, oh well
It was the loneliest time of day
When you turned and walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away
When you walked away

There was a time
When you had a place for me in your soul
Did it burn like fire
With hurtful hands when I tried to hold
But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away
I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me
There was a night
When I fell a million miles in your eyes
And it felt so right
To tell you all that I'd realized
But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away
I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me
But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away
Away
I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me
I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me

Gonna say somethin' to you
I don't care how you feel
But you just don't seem to realize, baby, that you have got yourself a good deal
I said that she is nineteen years old
Got ways like a baby child
Ain't nothin' I can do to please her
To make this young woman feel satisfied
Gonna say something to you
And I don't care if you get mad
But you just 'bout the prettiest girl that I ever had
I said that she is nineteen years old
Got ways like a baby child
Ain't nothin' I can do to please her
To make this young woman feel satisfied
She won't tell me where she's going
Can't ask her where she's been
When I try to have a conversation with her, yeah, well, it ain't got no end
I said that she is nineteen years old
She got ways like a baby child
There ain't nothin' I can do to please her
Well, oh, yeah!
Well, oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
To make this young woman feel satisfied

For Once Lonesome
02:52

Home isn't a place but in my arms
You don't know it yet
And you won't
I always think I wanna be alone until I am
Then I understand
That I don't
And I didn't know that I'd wanted her
Until I came home by myself
And I didn't know that I cared her
Until I woke up and I felt
For once lonesome
Home ain't a place by the mountains or by the sand
No, you won't find it there
When you go
And I always think I need a fairytale or a sign
Saying it's love this time
But I don't
And I didn't know that I'd wanted her
Until I came home by myself
And I didn't know that I'd needed her
Until I woke up and I felt
For once lonesome
For once lonesome
And I didn't know that I'd wanted her
Until I came home by myself
And I didn't know that I'd needed her
Until I woke up and I felt
For once lonesome
For once lonesome
For once lonesome
For once lonesome
