Lonely Man Lyrics

Oh baby, don't you know?
Don't you know I love you?
Baby, don't you know?
Don't you know I love you?
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Hey, baby
I'm a lonely man

One day you're gonna miss me
Wait and see
One day you're gonna miss me
Wait and see
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Hey, baby
I'm a lonely man

[Guitar solo]

Oh baby, can't you see?
Can't you see I been crying?
Baby, can't you see?
Can't you see I been crying?
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Hey, baby
I'm a lonely man
Oh baby, can't you hear?
Can't you hear me callin'?
Baby, can't you hear?
Can't you hear me callin'?
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Come on, baby
Every, every, everyday now
Come on, baby
Come on, oh
I need you
I need you, baby
I need you by my side
Every, every, everyday now

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
