You Left Her Lonely Too Long

(album: It Takes People Like You To Make People Like Me - 1968)

If the windows need washing
If the grass needs mowing
If the paint on the shutters is gone
If the kitchen sink is leaking
If the backdoor's a squeaking
You've left her lonely too long.

You've left her lonely too long too long
Too many nights you left her all alone
So if you started hurting then there's one thing for certain
You've left her lonely too long.

[Instrumental]

If there's no curtains on the windows
No clothes in the closet
If the clock on the mantel run down
If the floor you've started walking
And if the neighbors have started talking
You've left her lonely too long.

You've left her lonely too long too long
Too many nights you left her all alone
So if you started hurting then there's one thing for certain
You've left her lonely too long.

You've left her lonely too long...
