Lonely Avenue - Roy Ayers

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
