Story Behind the Song
I made a mistake and lost her.
Lyrics
The silence of the doorway,
Sips of wine,
The juke box keeps me company,
Pretty woman, walking by,
Lord knows I need some company.
I hear a conversation,
Right by,
Man says he understands lonely,
I don't believe him,
I think it's a lie,
I think to him it's only a word,
Well I can't find my lady,
And that is why,
I'm the loneliest man in the world.
Sometimes I have been wrong,
I'm a man, I make mistakes,
And I deserve her leaving,
That may be,
But what do I have to do,
To make that girl come back to me?
And how can I say to myself,
Through,
Oh baby, we're through.
Carnival of pickups,
Some kind of dance,
Faceless romance of lies,
And telephone numbers,
You can't say I love you,
It would spoil the ride,
And they might see you next week,
And walk right by.
Sometimes I have been wrong,
I'm a man,
I make mistakes,
And I deserve her leaving,
That may be,
But what do I have to do,
To make that girl come back to me,
And how can I say to myself,
Through,
Oh baby, we're through...
