Pardon me I don't mean to waste your time, I just need someone to talk to If you don't mind? Then the thoughts of loneliness That tonight I guess I'm to just to weak to fight, I can take the lonely days, But I can't take these lonely nights. Are you alone? Tell me what's your name? I just need someone to lean on I'm not playing any games. Well, sit down here beside me And let me buy you a glass of red rose wine I can take the lonely days But I can't take these lonely night. When I thought that I was strong But the night can be so long when you need a friend But maybe we could find a little piece of mind Before the morning comes again. Oh, pardon me If it seems I'm holdin' on Letting go, it just isn't easy When your sleeping all alone. Let's forget about tomorrow Beg, steal or borrow hmmm. Just a little time I can take the lonely days But I can't take these lonely nights. Yes, I can take the lonely days But I can't take these lonely nights...
