Oh ho Lonely man am I Ever since you said goodbye Girl I know that I should have woke up 'Cause it seems now that we broke up Your farewell kiss is haunting me My two lips cry out constantly Let your heart, let your heart be your guide Forget about your foolish pride Starting tomorrow I keep telling myself I'm gonna get out and find somebody else Somebody that's sweet and kind Who will erase you out of my mind But tell me how can I find somebody new baby When my two arms keep reaching out for you And my two lips keep right on repeating It's you that I need Oh You know that even when I close my eyes to forget you I see your face and your memories too Girl I've never felt this loneliness before And oh girl I just can't take it no more Every night a million tears I shed Girl every morning going out of my head Just take a good look and you'll see What this loneliness is doing to me (It's you that I need) oh ho (Don't you know that it you that I need) oh I can't take this loneliness (You that I need) oh baby I need you (You that I need) oh So a fool I'm gonna be no more 'Cause I'll soon be knocking knocking on your door Gonna get down on my bended knees Beggin' please girl come back to me It's you that I need Girl it's you that I need Girl take a good look and you'll see What this loneliness is doing to me
