[Verse 1]
When you're sad and lonely, thinking about your only
Feeling disgusted and you're blue
How your heart is achin', yes, it's almost breakin'
No one to tell your troubles to
That's the time you hang your head
And begin to cry
[Verse 2]
All your friends forsake you, trouble overtakes you
And your good man turns you down
People talk about you, everybody doubts you
And your friends can't be found
Not a soul to soothe your pain, you cry in vain
You've got the bleeding hearted blues
[Verse 3]
Say papa, tell me what's on your mind
Pretty papa, tell me what's on your mind
You keep my poor heart achin', and I'm worried all the time
[Verse 4]
Lord, I gave up every friend I had
I gave up every friend I had
Yes, I gave up my mother, I even gave up dear old dad
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Let me tell you just what your man will do
Let me tell you what your man will do
He'll flirt with other women, come home, and start a fight with you
[Verse 6]
Don't take another woman to be your friend
Don't take another woman to be your friend
She'll steal your man, look right in your face and grin
