Lonely Love

You couldn’t change it if you tried
Sometimes it seems, oh darling
It seems that you were born to cry
Trying for so long
But your sweet, sweet love keeps going wrong
Take a chance, take a chance on a
Lonely love, from a lonely loving boy
Oh darling, try a lonely love from a lonely loving boy
You been let down time after time
And now I'm begging you, please, please, please
Try to put your little heart back on the line
Forget those tears you cried
Leave them to the falling rain outside
Take a chance, take a chance on a
Lonely love, from a lonely loving boy
Try a lonely love from a lonely loving boy
Forget those tears you cried
Leave them to the falling rain outside
Take a chance, take a chance on a
Lonely love, from a lonely loving boy
Oh please, try a lonely love from a lonely loving boy
Try a lonely love from a lonely loving boy
Darling call my number any time you please
Little to be only love
Call my number any time
