Now my room has got two windows
But the sunshine never comes through
You know, it's always dark and dreary
Since I broke up with you, baby

I live on a lonely avenue
My love don't say I do
But I feel so sad and blue
You know, it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry
Whoa, I need somebody
Because I live on a lonely avenue

You know, my cover, it feel like lead
And my pillow, it feel like stone
But I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being alone

I live on a lonely avenue
My love don't say I do
But I feel so sad and blue
You know, it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry
Whoa, I need somebody
Because I live on a lonely avenue

Now I live 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, lonely avenue
My girl wouldn't say I do
But I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, baby
Whoa, I need somebody
Because I live on a lonely avenue
