Oh, my baby, yes, it's true

I've been a lonely man for you

Oh, my baby, it's no lie

Without you I'd surely die

They don't know but I can see

They tried to take you away from me

But they don't know what I do

I been a lonely man for you

Blindfolds that they put on me

Make them think that I can't see

All the tricks they try to do

Just to keep me away from you

Let them, let them think they can

'Cause I'm just a little man

But they don't know what I do

I been a lonely man for you

Now what could I say

With you gone away

And some wish that you would

But that don't do me no good

What could I do

Baby, without you

Bullet, bomb, gun or knife

To keep you in my life

Good Lord, it's a dreadful sin

This kind of world I'm living in

Papers don't tell me no news

Make the chices I should choose

First they said that we are free

Self-contained in apathy

Good Lord, it's technology

That tries to take you away from me

Now what could I say

With you gone away

And some wish that you would

But that don't do me no good

What could I do

Baby, without you

Bullet, bomb

Gun or knife

To keep you in my life

Oh, my baby, yes, it's true

I've been a lonely man for you

Good Lord knows that yes, it's true

I've been a lonely man for you

I'm so lonely, oh so lonely

I've been a lonely man for you

So lonely, so lonely, Lord I'm so lonely

I'm a lonely man, for you
