Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come to me, for I'm lonely
Come to me, for I'm lonely, darlin'
Come to me and be my girl
For I love, love you so
[Verse 2]
Come to me, forget the past
Think of life we have ahead, my, my, my, my babe
Come to me and be my girl
For I love, love, love you so, oh, now
[Verse 3]
Days are gettin' so lonely, yeah, now
Lights all gettin' so blue
Time has come for you and I
To get together and we'll make two, my, my, my, my baby
[Verse 4]
Come to me, for I'm beggin'
Come to me, for I'm beggin', darlin'
Come to me and be my girl
For I love, love, love you so, yeah
[Verse 5]
Come on now, baby
Baby, I'm down, said I'm down on my knees
Oh, I need me someone now, said I need some love
Just to stand right by me, oh
You know that these arms of mine, they have been lonely
Lonely so long
But I know, but I know, I know what my heart needs
I know, I know just what my heart needs
