Lyrics
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights, I cried for you
All week long, now
Seven lonely nights, I cried, I died, inside for you, baby
[Verse 1]
We swore on a Holy book to cherish and obey, now (Cherish and obey)
And that stuck right by my promise
Up until that very day, now
[PreChorus]
But you weren't happy, that's for certain
Now, I'm throwing that final curtain on you, girl
Hear me, baby
And begging won't break your rescue
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights, I cried for you
Tears are falling
Seven lonely nights, I cried, I died, inside for you, baby
[Verse 2]
By myself, I'm going crazy
I ate humble pie (Ate humble pie)
While you were out, having a good time
Keeping yourself satisfied
[PreChorus]
Cigarettes and coffee, nightly
Just a pillow to hold on tightly to
Hear me, baby
It's your turn to cry, the hurting's on you, girl
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights, I cried for you
All week long, baby
Seven lonely nights, I cried and I died, inside for you, baby
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do
[Verse 3]
All week long, your man ate and slept in
Early this morning, you came creeping in, crying, oh baby
'Cause you blew it this time
And I ain't lying
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights, I cried for you
All night long, girl
Seven lonely nights, I cried and I cried, and I sighed for you, baby
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights, I cried for you
All night long, girl
Seven lonely nights, I really cried, I died, oh, I cried for you, baby (Seven lonely nights I cried, died, sighed for you, baby)
