A woman left lonely Will soon grow tired of waiting She'll do crazy things On lonely occasions A simple conversation With a new man now and again Makes a touchy situation When a good thing's comin' to an end And when she gets lonely She's thinkin' 'bout her man She knows he's takin' her for granted Honey, she doesn't understand, no, no, yeah, yeah Well, the fevers of the night They burn an unloved woman Yeah, those red-hot flames Try to push old love aside A woman left lonely Is just a victim of her man, yes she is When he can't keep up his own world, no She's got to do the best that she can, yeah A woman left lonely Oh, that lonely girl No, oh, oh, lon-lone
