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

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

A woman left lonely

Ohh, that lonely girl

No... oh... ohhh... lonely... ohh
