I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day!
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
nothing seems to be the same old way!

Think about the love that burns within my heart for you,
the good-times we had before you went away!
Walk right back to me this minute,
bring your love to me don't scent it!
I'm so lonesome every day!

These eyes of mine that gave you lovin' glances once before,
changed to shades of cloudy gray!
I want so much to see you just like before,
I've got to know you're comin' back to stay!

Please believe me when I say it's great to hear from you,
but there's a lot of things a letter just can't say!
Walk right back to me this minute,
bring your love to me don't scent it!
I'm so lonesome every day!

( Now . . . I'm so lonesome! . . .
Now . . . I'm so lonesome! )

I'm so lonesome every day!
