Dottie West Lyrics
"Just Call Me Lonesome"

(Rex Griffin)

Why must I love a heartless one
Who'll never ever know all the harm he's done
Though love is blind I should have known
So call me lonesome from now on.

These walls will hide me when I cry
And I pray that heaven will let me die
For what good is life when love is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on.

I climb the stairs up to my room
But there's no one there to meet me just the gloom
The silence tells me that he's gone
Just call me lonesome from now on.

I pray my memories at last
Will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Then call me lonesome from now on...
