[Verse 1]
Lonely lover, crying through the night
'Cause the one you love has left you
Lonely lover, crying alone in the dark
Your sighing just breaks my heart
I hear you crying from across the street
It keeps me awake, unable to sleep
I close my window, not wanting to hear
Still your cries echoes in my ear, hey, mmm

[Verse 2]
Lonely lover, crying your little heart out
Trying to wash away your hurt
Oh, lonely lover, how I long to comfort you
'Cause when you're hurting, I'm hurting, too
From my window, across the street
I watched you kiss him tenderly
Kissing you like I never could
To you I'm just another guy in the neighborhood
Hey, hey, mmm

[Verse 3]
I've heard neighbors saying that he's gonna put you down
For another girl across town
Lonely lover, sobbing through the night
How I long to hold you tight
Many nights I've wakened from my sleep
Hearing you crying from across the street
Your neighborhood friend is all I'll be
But I still love you so tenderly
Hey, mmm

[Outro]
Lonely lover, crying through the night
Lonely lover, crying through the night
Woo, lonely lover, crying through the night
Woo, lonely lover, sobbing and weeping, baby
Lonely lover, crying your little eyes out, yeah
Lonely lover, hey, hey
Lonely lover, oh baby, yeah
