Lonely Lady #17 - Neil Diamond

Lonely lady one, she run away

And number two, she do the same

Lady number three walk out on me

Like number four

Who’s keeping score?

Lady five, oh how she lied

She made me pay some dues

Six and seven, eight, nine, ten

They really were bad news

Oh no, they’d only break my heart

That’s how it seems

And then I finally came upon

A lady seventeen

Lonely lady number seventeen

She stayed a while

She had the style

Lonely lady number seventeen

She got to be with lonely me

Lonely

Lonely lady number seventeen

Yeah

Lonely lady!

Ladies eleven, twelve and thirteen

They came and went

Baby, I still can hear them sayin'

«It's time to repent»

I turned around and there she was

With such a sweet surprise

A lovin' face, lovin' smile

And love lights in her eyes

Lonely lady number seventeen

You stayed a while

You had the style

Lonely lady number seventeen

Come on and be with lonely me

Oh no

When lady fourteen walked out

That’s when I screamed

I had no luck with lady fifteen

Or sweet sixteen

But lonely lady number seventeen

You stayed a while

You had the style

Lonely lady number seventeen

Come and and be with lonely me

Lonely

Lonely lady number seventeen

Yeah

Lonely lady

She makes me feel so sociable

Lonely lady

Number seventeen

Yes

Lonely lady, lonely

Lonely lady

Number seventeen
