[Verse 1]
Through the lonely nights I think of you
Through the lonely hours I dream of you
I don't know why I do it, but I do
Why do you take it, what's wrong with you?

[Verse 2]
Through the lonely weekends I'm far from you
Why you're coming on, like you're supposed to do (Yes)
Oh, but you know me so well
And your time ain’t so hard to sell

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Every time I see you
Every time I see you
Every time I see you
Every time I see you

[Verse 3]
In your cherry dresses and your shiny shoes
In a doorway on some neon avenue
Making the lonely pay for me
Why don't we set each other free?
[Bridge]
When did I mislead you?
When did I misread you?
When did I mistreat you?
When did I deceive you?

[Outro]
Oh, I'm stuck out and want to cry, cry, cry
Sleep in the doorway, Lord, making a rendezvous
Lord, I'm stuck out baby, want to cry cry cry cry cry cry cry
Lord, babe, I li, li, li, li, li, li, li Lord
