Pardon me
I don't mean to waste your time
I just need someone to talk to
If you don't mind
I've fought the loneliness
But tonight I guess I'm just too weak to fight
Cause I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely nights.

Are you alone
Tell me, what's your name
I just need someone to lean on
I'm not playin' any games
So set down here beside me
Let me buy you a glass of Red Rose wine
Cause I can take the lonely days
But, I can't take these lonely nights.

Well, I thought I was strong
But, the nights can be so long
When you need a friend
Maybe we could find
A little peace of mind
Before the morning comes, again.

So, pardon me
If it seems I'm holding on
Letting go just isn't easy
When you're sleeping all alone
Let's forget about tomorrow
Beg, steal, or borrow
UMM, Just a little time
Cause I can take the lonely days
But, I can't take these lonely nights.

Yes, I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely nights...
