Written many decades ago. Your basic “poor me, you done me wrong” song.

Lyrics:
Have another glass of wine
Have another piece of momentary time
“I’d love to stay and talk,
Love to fall in love but I don’t know quite what I lack,
It’s just not time for turning back,
I wish I could, I really would”
I’m thinkin’ and a-thinkin’ and a-thinkin’ and a-thinkin’
Uh-huh
I was a lonely man
I was a lonely man
And I couldn’t see what love would do
It didn’t seem that new to you
And you were hopin’ that I might be
Another man who looked like me
And I couldn’t think of a moment I’d be without you
I’d be without you
So have another look at me
And think of all the things that you’d rather see
I know you’re not to blame
If you don’t like what you see
And you can rest assured I see the same
Think of all the things you missed
If it gets to be too much we can make a list
I’ll try and do my best to change
I’m thinkin’ and a-wonderin’, hopin’ and a-prayin’
Uh-huh
I was a lonely man
I was a lonely man
And I couldn’t see what love would do
It didn’t seem that new to you
And you were hopin’ that I might be
Another man who looked like me
And I couldn’t think of a moment I’d be without you
I’d be without you
Well, everything was either strength or fear
It’s a point of view I guess
But it was weird
I did not understand
I was only waiting for a day
Like you sometimes find
I didn’t have one day in mind
Goodbye, goodbye
You would not try
Blame it on your strength
Blame it on my weakness
Uh-huh
I was a lonely man
I was a lonely man
And I couldn’t see what love would do
It didn’t seem that new to you
And you were hopin’ that I might be
Another man who looked like me
And I couldn’t think of a moment I’d be without you
