Lyrics
Now my room has got two windows
But the sunshine never come through
You know it's always dark and dreary
Since I broke off, baby, with you
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh
(I could die, I could die, I could die) give me somebody
'Cause I live on a lonely avenue
Oh, yes, sir (lonely avenue)
Now you know my covers they feel like lead
And my pillow it feel like stone
Well, I've tossed and turned so every night
I'm not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
You know it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh
(I could die, I could die, I could die)
'Cause I live on a lonely avenue
Yes, sir (lonely avenue)
(Lonely avenue)
(Lonely avenue)
Now I've been so sad and lonesome
Since you left this town
You know, if I could beg or borrow the money
Child, I would be a highway bound
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say I do
Well, I feel so sad and blue
You know it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh
(I could die, I could die, I could die) yeah
I live a lonely avenue
Oh, avenue (lonely avenue)
