Sometimes I sit and wonder
About the things I’ve done
And most of the time when I make up my mind
I don’t give a second thought

But one thing that I wish
If I could change my mind
Is to hold you again, my lover, my friend
Turn back the hands of time

Ooh, can’t you understand I’m only just a man (Only just a man)
Needing my woman here with me again, ooh
When you left you took a part of me
Now I’m livin’ in misery without you
And I love you and need you

Baby, I’m lonely for the warmth of your smile
Seems that made it all, it made it all worthwhile
And baby, I’m lonely for the softness of your touch
I miss you so much, baby, yes, ‘cause I love you much too much

I guess I wasn’t trying
Even though I knew I could
If I had the chance to do it all again, baby
Ooh, I know I would

Ooh, I know we said we would give it up
And then we walked away
But now I’m havin’ second thoughts
I wish that you would stay

Ooh, can’t you understand that I’m only just a man (Only just a man)
And I need my woman here with me again, ho...
When you, girl, left you took the heart of me
And I don’t think I’m gonna make it without you
‘Cause I love you and need you

Baby, I’m lonely for the warmth of your smile
Seems that I made it all, made it all worthwhile, hey
Baby, I’m lonely for the softness of your touch
I need you so much, baby, girl, I love you much too much, hey

Baby, I’m lonely (I’m lonely)
Baby, I’m lonely (I’m lonely)
Baby, I’m lonely (Oh, I don’t know what I’m gonna do without you, baby, come on)

Baby, I’m lonely (Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo)
Baby, I’m lonely (Baby, come home)
Baby, I’m lonely (Hey, Stevie won’t you help me, tell my baby, that I’m gonna come home)

Ooh...

Baby, I’m lonely for the warmth of your smile
Seems that I made it all, made it all worthwhile, yes, I did
Baby, I’m lonely for the softness of your touch
I miss you so much, baby, I love you much too much, come back home to me, baby

I’m lonely
Baby, I’m lonely
Yeah
Ooh...hoo...
Hoo...hoo...ooh...
