Lonely For Your Love
Lee Aaron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been thinkin' how I'd get along
If it wasn't for you
I've been wonderin', if I'd be as strong
For what yer puttin' me through

I always try an' tell myself got nothin' ta lose
An' you will always be mine
When you're away it drives me outta my mind
A losing battle with time

Because I'm lonely
I'm lonely for your love..
I'm lonely
Only want your love...

I tried so hard to reach you, don't return my calls
Well what's a girl to do
If you don't want my love now, just don't care at all
Jus' let me know that we're through

I always try an' tell myself got nothin' ta lose
An' you will always be mine
When you're away it drives me outta my mind
A losing battle with time

Because I'm lonely
I'm lonely for your love..
I'm lonely
I only want your love...
Ooh... oh

I wanna tell ya
Uh, uh, uh, h-I'm waitin' for ya baby....
Ooh, why do, why do, why do ya always, answer maybe....

Lonely....
Lonely for your love...
Lonely...
I only want your love...
Lonely....
I'm lonely for your love...
Lonely....
Lonely for your love...
Lonely....




Lonely for your love...
Lonely...
