lyrics

You save your pennies for a rainy day
I heard your birdy done flown away

She called it frugal some called you smart Sure mister wouldn’t be a bleeding heart When sun is shining you make the hay

Put off good lovin’ for another day

He let the girl he played hard to land

Slip through his fingers like a grain of sand
Lonely man, lonely man

Lonely man, lonely man — (he’s been living with regret yeah)
She should have left you long time ago

You had the rhythm couldn’t keep the flow

So wasn’t happy ‘bout the dream you sold her She wants good livin’ you want keep your gold. I heard you question if her love was true

I heard ‘em call her gold digger too but,

Come early mornin’ cock-a-doodle do

You hug your pillow no ones holdin’ you
Lonely man, lonely man — (he’s been living with regrets yeah)
 Lonely man, lonely man — (it’s a lesson he won’t forget)
Lonely man, lonely man — (he’s been living with regrets yeah)
 Lonely man, lonely man — (and he won’t forget)
Is there a moral to the story though?

Yes! Don’t treat your woman like a thing you own. I work so hard ain’t got time to rest

There ain’t no joy in only counting cash

Free up your kisses be free with love

Make time for huggin’ can’t have too much
Heed Mr. Lonely all alone and blue

Don’t let the lonely life come for you
Lonely man, lonely man — (he’s been living with regrets yeah)
 Lonely man, lonely man — (it’s a lesson he won’t forget)
