Lyrics

Now my room has got two windows But the sunshine never come through You know it's always dark and dreary Since I broke off, baby, with you I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue And it's all because of you I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh (I could die, I could die, I could die) give me somebody 'Cause I live on a lonely avenue Oh, yes, sir (lonely avenue) Now you know my covers they feel like lead And my pillow it feel like stone Well, I've tossed and turned so every night I'm not used to being alone I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue You know it's all because of you I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh (I could die, I could die, I could die) 'Cause I live on a lonely avenue Yes, sir (lonely avenue) (Lonely avenue) (Lonely avenue) Now I've been so sad and lonesome Since you left this town You know, if I could beg or borrow the money Child, I would be a highway bound I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue You know it's all because of you I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh (I could die, I could die, I could die) yeah I live a lonely avenue Oh, avenue (lonely avenue)
