Through the lonely nights I think of you
Through the lonely hours I dream of you
I don't know why I do it but I do
Why do you take it? What's wrong with you?
Through the lonely weekends I'm far from you
Why you're coming on like you're supposed
to do - yes
Oh but you know me so well
And your time ain't so hard to sell
Every time I see you
Every time I see you
Every time I see you
Every time I see you
In your cherry dresses and your shiny shoes
In a doorway on some neon avenue
Making the lonely pay for me
Why don't we set each other free?
When did I mislead you?
When did I misread you?
When did I mistreat you?
When did I deceive you?
Oh I'm stuck out - want to cry, cry, cry
Sleeping in the doorway - Lord, making a rendez-vous
Lord, I'm stuck out baby, I want to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Lord... li, li, li, li, li, li...
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry...
Cry, cry, cry...

I actually played guitar on that song. That's
actually not a very well known song... it was the B-side of a single. I
played the lead guitar on that... and also sang backup vocals.
