Why must I love a heartless woman
Who never knows the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on


I climb the stairs up to my room
But no-one greets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on


These walls will hide me when I cry
N'I hope that heaven lets me die ?????
What good is life when hope has gone
Just call me lonesome from now on


Just call me lonesome from now on

Though love is blind I should have known

Just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room
But no-one greets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
