Well now, I’m sitting here alone

Wondering what I’ll do

Whoa, little darlin'

Where, where are you?

Whoa-oh

Well now, I just don’t know

What I’ll do-hoo-hoo

Darling, just 'cause I don’t have you

That’s why I’m so-ho-ho blue

Whoa, uh-oh

Try darlin'

You’re the only one for me

And they’ll never be

No, no, I’ll tire of you

Whoa-uh-uh-oh

Well now, that I’ve tried

Just wishing and praying for you

Well, there is no one

No one like you

Uh-ooh

Now, you’re the only one, I love

And I’ll al-ha-ha-all, always

Love you, so

Love you, so, uh-uh-ooh-oh

Love, ooh love

Oh-ho-oh-ooh-ooh

But you’re gone

Ooo-ooo

Ooh, now that you’re gone
