She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me

That she'd leave me in misery.

It seemed like only yesterday

She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

First Verse

And if it seemed a sin

To love another man's woman, baby,

I guess I'll keep on sinning

Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.
