Lonesome Is
By Nancy McCallion

Lonesome is as lonesome does
I fell for you just because
You looked my way, you smiled so kind
You tried so hard, you loved so blind

Tell me one time and I come back around
Tell me two times and you start to slow me down
Tell me three times and I’m walking away
Tell me four times and what else can you say
 
Well lonesome ain’t just a state of mind
It’s as real as sin and it ain’t half as kind
It’ll eat you up like I know you been
It has done’ it before, it will do it again

Tell me one time and I come back around
Tell me two times and you start to slow me down
Tell me three times and I’m walking away
Tell me four times and what else can you say
