Lonely Woman

(album: Sassy - 1956)

Lonely woman, lonely woman
Craving love and slaving to forget
A life of torture this is
To yearn for someone's kisses
With lips you've wasted, untasted yet

Lonely woman, only woman
Understands the pain I've clearly shown
What trick can fate have done me
That men must spurn and shun me?
My only crime is I'm alone

As I cross the street, the men that I meet
Have eyes of fun for everyone but me
In my room I pass the looking glass
And see the bloom of girl who'd waiting
Killed by all my heart's complaining

Lonely, lonely woman, so lonely woman
As I sleep I weep in misery
Oh, stars that shine above me
Please send me someone to love me
And take my loneliness from me

Lonely, lonely woman
