Here I am a-doing things
I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby
Said we're through
It was on that tragic day
The hurting got its start
That's how it is
When lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl
For the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on
It's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter
But it's tearing me apart
That's how it is
When lonely hits your heart
I spent my nights a-crying
While he was running round
My heart was the first place
Lonely found
I don't think I'll forget him
I can't begin to start
That's how it is
When lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl
For the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on
It's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter
But it's tearing me apart
That's how it is
When lonely hits your heart
