Well, my friend, you ask me what to do   If I were you, and feeling blue   I know inside that you still care   You want her here, but she's out there      Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone   Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone      You still have time to change her mind   She needs to know, the way you feel   And there could be no better time   You've got to show her your love is real      Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone   Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone      There's strangers waiting in line   To take your place and leave you behind   And then too late, you'll change your mind   Your heart will break a million times      Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone   Don't leave her lonely, too long   'Cause she'll be gone, gone, gone   She'll be gone, gone, gone
