All of a sudden you're lonely all of a sudden it's goodbye
You found out too late how much you love her all of a sudden you cry

You thought that she'd belong to you forever
You thought that she love you that you could play
It's true that love and hurt may go together
But too much hurt and our love's gone away
All of a sudden you're lonely
[ steel ]
When you're lonely things look different somehow
You see mistakes you never knew you made
You didn't know it ended you sure know now
Each minute that she's gone you're gettin' paid
All of a sudden you're lonely
