I'm a lonesome woman and that's the weakest kind
I'm a lonesome woman that just got left behind
And if you'll ever kiss my lips I know what I might do

Cause I'm a lonesome woman afraid of man like you
When you look at me so tenderly I long to be held tight
But I know what kind words do to me and that's why I must fight

You seem so warm and gentle and perhaps you mean no farm
But I know I'm too lonesome to just nestle in your arms
I'm a lonesome woman and that's the weakest kind

I'm a lonesome woman that just got left behind
And if you'll ever kiss my lips I know what I might do
I'm a lonesome woman afraid of man like you
