You had the nerve to tell me that you didn't want me no more Can you remember baby when I knocked upon your door? You had the nerve to tell me that you didn't want me no more Ain't it lonesome sleeping all by yourself? When the one that you love is loving someone else Ain't it lonesome sleeping by yourself? When the one that you love baby is loving someone else
