I've never heard a lovers word in my ear The life I've known has been so lonely and drear In dreams men's eyes assume a gay light that with a day light disappears The time is fleeting Fate is treating me wrong Why must I wait so long
Lonely woman Lonely woman Craving love and slaving to forget A life of torture this is To yearn for someone's kisses With lips you've wasted Untasted yet
Lonely woman Only woman understands the pain I've clearly shown What tricking fate have done me That men must spurn and shun me My only crime is I'm alone
As I cross the street The man I meet have eyes of fun For everyone but me In my room I pass The looking glass And see the bloom of girlhood waning Killed by all my heart's complaining
Lonely woman Lonely woman As I sleep I weep in misery All stars that shine above me Please send someone to love me And take my loneliness from me.
