Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do   But that's before my baby said we're through   It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start   That's how it is when lonely hits your heart      I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man   The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand   To him it just don't matter but it's tearin' me apart   That's how it is when lonely hits your heart   [ guitar - piano ]   I spent my nights a crying while he was running round   My heart was the first place lonely found   I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start   That's how it is when lonely hits your heart      I've become a fallen girl...
