Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're sad and lonely
Thinkin' about you only
Feelin' disgusted and blue
Ah, your heart is achin'
Yes, it's almost breakin'
No one to tell your troubles to
That's the time you hang your head
And begin to cry
[Verse 2]
All your friends forsake you
Troubles overtake you
And your good man turns you down
People talk about you
Everybody doubt you
And your friends can't be found
Not a soul to ease your pain
You will plead in vain
You've got those bleeding hearted blues
[Verse 3]
Yeah, baby, tell me what's on your mind
Pretty papa, tell me what's on your mind
You keep my poor heart achin'
I'm worried all the time
I'd give up every friend that I had
Yes, I'd give up every friend that I had
I'd give up my mother
I'd even give up dear old Dad
