Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime
Darling
You're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line
Pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write
Darling
You know I feel are cold nights
Thinking 'bout the old nights
Spent along with you
Oh, oh, darling
Tears are in my eyes now
Knowing I should try now
To make it back to you
Darling
I love you more than ever
I wish we were together
Darling mine
Darling
I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime
Mmh darling
You're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line
Darling, oh darling
I'm feeling pretty lonesome (I'm feeling pretty lonesome)
I'd call you on the phone some (I'd call you on the phone some)
But I don't have a dime (but I don't have one single time)
Darling (oh my darling)
You're so far behind me (you're so far behind me)
Tomorrow's gonna find me (tomorrow's gonna find me)
Further down the line
Come on now
Darling (oh my little darling)
I'm feeling pretty lonesome (I am feeling pretty lonesome)
I'd call you on the phone some

Gordon Mills was the manager of Tom Jones since 1964 and Humperdink since 1967. So they didn't just meet !
@mervynstent1578
They had other names then! 😂
@Fishermang709
Mills created the staunch competition between the two singers and put them up against each other.
@mervynstent1578
@@Fishermang709 I thought the story was Engelbert knifed both Jones & Mills and signed with another label in the 70’s!
Pretty rich considering Dorsey was a know body without the two! 😬

Real music , real voices no computers , no auto tune. Just pure talent

It's amusing how some folks cling to their antiquated notions of "authenticity" in music, as if auto-tune is the only tool that musicians have ever used for creative expression. Maybe take a moment to grasp that innovation and experimentation have been driving forces in music for centuries. Your disdain for auto-tune just makes you sound stuck in the past.

estas equivocado maestro la voz siempre sera la voz. La gente del pasado lo hacia mejor porque se trabajaba la tecnica de una manera artesanal. La tecnologia destruyo la disciplina. Punto final
