Bobby Womack - The Things We Do (When We're Lonely) Lyrics

So, I put back my keys I told her goodbye and I walked out the door.
I drove away so care for my (?)
But, I broke down that night and I called out her number and her phone starts to ring.
No one was there, I had wasted my time.

All the things we do when get lonely don't seem like much in the light of the dead.
Girls I love, we all know.

But, it can't make the hurt go away.

I'm pretending not to care, knowing your emotions, being alone.
Friends come around tell that I'll be your right, I'll be your right.
But, I still call her name, hoping that she'll hear me, knowing that she won't.
If she should call, I would run right back to her side.

All the things we do when get lonely don't seem like much in the light of the dead.
Girls I love, we all know.

But, it can't make the hurt go away.

If she should call, I would run right back to her side.

All the things we do when get lonely don't seem like much in the light of the dead.
Girls I love, we all know.

But, it can't make the hurt go away.
