wasting my time
a shadow on the riverbank
watching my reflection go to sea
wind in my hair
i could be most anywhere
but i do not care to know
not where i stand
baby, i`ve been lost without you
since i don`t have a place to call my home
oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart?
must i take what i can get and make it my own?
as long as i love my baby
i`m only lonely
she said not to call
said it would be best for all concerned
if i just all but disappear
she loves you best
and i love her nonetheless
so i just listen to the voice on the machine, singing
baby, i`ve been lost without you
since i don`t have a place to call my home
oh, my sweet baby, must i empty my heart?
must i take what i can get and call it my own?
as long as i love my baby
i`m only lonely
