The Chi-Lites

A Lonely Man

Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...

Doo...doo...doo...

You better let me tell you

Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...

Doo...doo...doo...

You better let me tell you

You know some time ago our pathways parted

Now you may have found bliss

But I found regret

Maybe you can smile, maybe even laugh

Yeah, but all the while

I'm trying to forget

Tears cannot express my grief nor words my loneliness

For they can only tell apart

Let my heart tell you the rest

I would season every day of my life with you

You better let me tell you

I would show you just what it means to be true, girl

You better let me tell you

'Cause after love has come and gone, baby, I'm the lonely one

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... But why should a man be lonely

When he had someone like you

How can I make you believe

That I got to have you, baby Yes, I got to have you, baby Oh, I got to have you, baby

I would sweeten every hour of my day with you

You better let me tell you

I would give you all the things a good lady would need

You better let me tell you

For you I?d save up all of my time, give you every dime

For you, girl, you better let me tell you

'Cause after love has come and gone, baby, I'm the lonely one

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

But why should a man be lonely

When he had someone like you

How can I make you believe

That I got to have you, baby Yes, I got to have you, baby Oh, I got to have you, baby

I got to travel alone

Down life's highway

Searching faces, some old, some new

Seeking someone whom I need the most

I know there can't be two

Yeah, I'm searching for someone

Who's the closest thing to you

Gotta go on, gotta go on

I'm so lonely, I gotta go, I'm so lonely, gotta go, yeah...

Oh, I just gotta go

I said, baby, baby, baby, baby, oh

I just-just-just-just got to go (I've got to go, I've got to go)

I'm so lonely (Hey), I gotta go (Oh), I'm so lonely, gotta go, yeah...

(Gotta go on, yeah, yeah)

(Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go, I just gotta go)

Gotta go on, gotta go on

I'm so lonely, I gotta go, I'm so lonely, yeah...yeah

I've just gotta go

Hey, hey, got to, got to, oh, I got to, I just to go on

(I've got to go, I've got go)

I'm so lonely (Hey), I gotta go (Oh)
