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'd become a lonely man for the love of a girl
The same old thing goes on and on it's lonesome in my world
To her it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
[ piano ]
I spent my nights a crying since my baby's not around
My heart was the first place lonely found
I don't think I'll forget her I can't begin to start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I'd become a lonely man...
Yes that's how it is when lonely hits your heart
