Lyrics

Lonely Avenue

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Now my room has got two windows,

But the sunshine never comes thru

You know it's always dark and dreary,

Since I broke off, baby, with you

I live on Lonely Avenue

My little girl wouldn't say 'I do'

So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

Yes I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry

(Someone hear me, Lord)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

Now my covers, they feel like lead

And my pillow, it feels like stone

Well I've tossed and turned so every night

I'm not used to being alone

I live on Lonely Avenue

My little girl wouldn't say 'I do'

And I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry

Yes, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

(Someone hear me, Lord),

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

(Someone hear)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

(Someone hear me, Lord),

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

(Someone hear)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

Ooooh, ooh, ooh

Ooooh, ooh, ooh

Ooooooooooooooh, oooooh

Oooooooooooooh, ooooooooh

Stand in love, don't fall in love!

Now my room has got two windows,

But the sunshine never comes thru

You know it's always dark and dreary,

Since I broke off, baby, with you

I live on Lonely Avenue

My little girl wouldn't say 'I do'

So I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry

Yes, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

(Someone hear me, Lord),

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

(Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm)

I said I'll try, I'll try, I'll try

And I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry

(Someone hear me, Lord),

(Someone hear)

As I would say it again,

Stand in love,

Don't fall in love!
