Well, seven lonely days make one lonely week
And seven lonely nights make one lonely me
Ever since the time you told me we were through

Well, seven lonely days I cried and cried for you
Oh, my darling, I'm crying, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ain't no use in denying I cried for you
It was your favorite past time just a making me blue

Well, last week was the last time I cried for you
Seven pillows blue I filled with my tears
Seven letters too I filled with all my fears
I guess it never pays to make your lover blue

Seven lonely days I've cried and cried for you
Oh ,my darling, I'm crying
Seven lonely days make one lonely week
And seven lonely nights make one lonely me
