Now my room has got two windows

But the sunshine never come through

You know it's always dark and dreary

Since I broke off, baby, with you

I live on a lonely avenue

My little girl wouldn't say I do

Well, I feel so sad and blue

And it's all because of you

I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh

(I could die, I could die, I could die) give me somebody

'Cause I live on a lonely avenue

Oh, yes, sir (lonely avenue)

Now you know my covers they feel like lead

And my pillow it feel like stone

Well, I've tossed and turned so every night

I'm not used to being alone

I live on a lonely avenue

My little girl wouldn't say I do

Well, I feel so sad and blue

You know it's all because of you

I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh

(I could die, I could die, I could die)

'Cause I live on a lonely avenue

Yes, sir (lonely avenue)

(Lonely avenue)

(Lonely avenue)

Now I've been so sad and lonesome

Since you left this town

You know, if I could beg or borrow the money

Child, I would be a highway bound

I live on a lonely avenue

My little girl wouldn't say I do

Well, I feel so sad and blue

You know it's all because of you

I could cry, I could cry, I could (cry), oh

(I could die, I could die, I could die) yeah

I live a lonely avenue

Oh, avenue (lonely avenue)
