Fate is mighty cruel    Where true love is concerned    It seems you give out more    Than you ever have returned    Lately I have tried    To make it on my own    Another nite has passed    Looks like I’m bound to be alone    Bound to be alone       Now solitude is fine    When you really need it    When your soul is dry    Sometimes loneliness can feed it    When you need a lover    You know there’s nothin’ else will do    When you need love most    You know it turns it’s back on you       Oh, I can make it thru without your company    I only wish I knew why you won’t comfort me    I thot that I could count on you    To hear me cryin’ out    I guess that’s one comfort    I will learn to do without       Fallin love too easily    But never quite so fast    so you are not the first and, lord    You sure won’t be the last    The thing about the situation    That makes me feel so sad    I could’ve been the best old friend    That you have ever had    I could’ve been the best old friend    That you have ever had
