Well, I've been tom-cattin'
For such a long time now
Runnin' into open arms
Just to walk right out
But all that I'd needed
Just don't get it anymore
That this cold and lonesome feelin'
Has got to go

There's this, here, one lady
Keeps on comin' around
And I'm thinkin' that, maybe
This is love we've found
She said she could save me
There's no real way to know
But this cold and lonesome feelin'
Has got to go

Well, that one-time woman
Gave her all my love
Thought for sure she was satisfied
But then the changes came
And run on the rain
And my sun refused to shine

Woman, hold me near
Listen here
I got to love you one more time
If it is the same
There won't be no rain
We'll just move on down the line
