Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well, I understand
It's so natural, but why did it have to be me?
[Verse 2]
Nights can be empty, and nights can be cold
So you were looking for someone to hold
That's only natural, but why did it have to be me?
[Chorus]
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you, and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
[Chorus]
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But, baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
[Verse 3]
Men are the toys in the game that you play
When you get tired, you throw them away
That's only natural, but why did it have to be me?
[Verse 4]
Fallin' in love with a woman like you
Happened so quickly, there's nothin' to do
It's only natural, but why did it have to be me?
[Chorus]
I was so lonesome, I was blue
I couldn't help it, it had to be you, and I
Always thought you knew the reason why
[Chorus]
I only wanted a little love affair
Now I can see you are beginning to care
But, baby, believe me
It's better to forget me
