“Lonely Weekends”

My woman was a child
Gave it up for a life of style
My woman, she was wild
Gave it up to have a child
She said, “Oh, these lonely weekends”

My woman, she was mild
Gave her up for a life of crime
My woman, she was fine
Gave her up for peace of mind
I said, “Oh, these lonely weekends
Oh, these lonely nights”

Ohh, these lonely weekends
Oh, these lonely nights
These lonely nights

The glory that was sung
Livin’ it up, now livin’ alone
How the children made it cry
Just to see their vision die
They said, “Oh, these lonely weekends
Oh, these lonely nights, these lonely nights”

Ohh, these lonely weekends
Oh, these lonely nights
These lonely nights

Now my story can unfold
Givin’ it up and growin’ old
Make no sense to wonder why
I’ll just watch my vision die
I said, “Whoa, these lonely weekends
Oh, these lonely nights
These lonely nights”

Whoa-oh, these lonely weekends
I said, whoa-oh, these lonely nights
I said, whoa-oh, these lonely weekends
I said, whoa-oh, these lonely nights
