PLEASE, EXCUSE MY CHRONIC LONELINESS.
BABY, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
DON'T GET ANGRY IF I NEVER SMILE,
I WAS BORN TO BE SAD.
THERE WAS A TIME, LONG TIME AGO,
SHE WAS STANDING BY MY SIDE.
SHE TURNED MY DARKNESS INTO GLOW,
BUT THEY TOOK'ER AWAY.
THEY TOOK HER AWAY.
OH, NO! OH, NO! OH, NO! MMM!
OUR TASTES WERE SO CLOSE.
THE CHILLY, DRIZZLY DAYS OF THE FALL
'N HOW THE WIND BLOWIN' MADE US DANCE
A FUGITIVE WALTZ.
ONE SUMMER DAY THOSE DEVILS CAME
AND CUT HER LIFE WITH, OH, NO SHAME.
SHE WAS AS WINSOME AS THE MOON,
NOW I´M HERE WITH MY GLOOM.
ALONE WITH MY GLOOM.
AND I, CHAINED AS I AM,
TELL ME, WHAT MORE COULD I DO?
I SHOUTED, SHOUTED, SHOUTED, SHOUTED LOUD TO THEM
BUT THEY DIDN'T HEAR ME.
I WAS ASKIN' TO BE TAKEN TOO.
LET ME GO AWAY WITH HER!
SHE WARMLY FREED ME FROM THE FEAR,
NOW THE WIND DRIES MY TEARS.
THE WIND DRIES MY TEARS.
OH! OOOOOOOH! OH!... AH! AAAAAAAAH!!!
