A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting
She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good things comin' to an end
And when she gets lonely, she's thinking 'bout her man
She knows he's taking her for granted, oh yeah
Honey, she doesn't understand, no, no, no, no
Well, the fevers of the night
They burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames, yeah
Try to push old love aside
A woman left lonely, she's the victim of her man, yes, she is
When he can't keep up his own way, good Lord
She's got to do the best that she can, yeah
A woman left lonely
Lord, that lonely girl
Lord
Lord, Lord
