Lyrics
Lonely For You
I can't complain
Guess I'm doin' OK
Everything seems to be
Goin' my way
Except I'm lonely for you
Only for you
No one else can do for me
That thing that you do
Sometimes I get blue
'Cause I'm lonely for you
The curl of your smile
That wink in your eye
The way you look at me
When you walk by
Makes me lonely for you
Only for you
No one else can wet my whistle
Like you do
Sometimes I get blue
When I get lonely for you
Baby where did you go?
And where can you be?
And why aren't you lyin'
In this bed next to me?
How can I tell
How long it will be
Until you come and make
An honest man out of m
I'm doin' OK
Guess I can't complain
But when I hear the whistle
Of that midnight train
I get so lonely for you
Baby, only for you
No one else can do for me
That thing that you do
I so get blue
When I get lonely for you
