Lyrics Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye

Lonely Lover

Lonely lover cryin' through the night

'Cause the one you love has left you

Lonely lover cryin' alone in the dark

Your sighing just breaks my heart

I hear you cryin' from across the street

It keeps me awake, unable to sleep

I close my window, not wanting to hear

Still your cries echoes in my ears, hey, hey

Lonely lover cry your little heart out

Tryin' to wash away your hurt, yeah

Lonely lover, how I long to comfort you

'Cause when you're hurting, I'm hurt too

From my window across the street

I watched you kiss him tenderly

Kissing you like I never could

To you I'm just another guy in the neighborhood, hey, hey

I've heard neighbors sayin' that he's gonna put you down

For another girl, across town

Lonely lover sobbing through the night

How I long to hold you tight

Many nights I've wakened from my sleep

Hearin' you cryin' from across the street

Your neighborhood friend is all I'll be

But I still love you so tenderly, hey, hey

Lonely lover cryin' through the night

Lonely lover cryin' through the night

Ooh, lonely lover cryin' through the night

Ohh, lonely lover sobbin' and weepin', baby
