LONESOME WOMAN
(Lola Jean Dillon)


Margie Bowes - 1968



I'm a lonesome woman and that's the weakest kind
I'm a lonesome woman that just got left behind
And if you ever kiss my lips, I know what I might do
'Cause I'm a lonesome woman afraid of men like you

When you look at me so tenderly, I long to be held tight
But I know what kind words do to me and that's why I must fight
You seem so warm and gentle and perhaps you mean no harm
But I know I'm too lonesome to just nestle in your arms

I'm a lonesome woman and that's the weakest kind
I'm a lonesome woman that just got left behind
And if you ever kiss my lips, I know what I might do
'Cause I'm a lonesome woman afraid of men like you
I'm a lonesome woman afraid of men like you
