[words in parentheses are by the entire group.

(please return your love to me, girl)
(forgive me for the wrong i've done)

and, oh, baby
i cry myself to sleep at night
for fear of a-never holdin' you tight at all, baby (whoa, baby)
i miss ya more with each passin' day
every night on my knees i pray
oh, oh, baby (please)

[chorus:]
(return your love to me, girl)
(forgive me for the wrong i've done
(without your love, i'm just no good)
(for i am just a lonely boy)

i'm sorry for the wrong i've done
now i know how it feels to lose that special someone (whoa, baby)
i need you more than words can say
without your love i can't face another day
oh, (please)

(return your love to me, girl)
(forgive me for the wrong i've done
(without your love, i'm just no good)
(i am just a lonely one)

oh, no, no-o-o-o, babe

if there's a heav'n above you'll be my one and only love (and, oh, baby)
i can't control the glow in me
girl, come on and an' see about me

(oh, ple-ea-ease)

(return your love to me, girl)
(forgive me for the wrong i've done
(without your love, i'm just no good)
(i am just a lonely one)

i'm a lonely one
i'm a lonely one
i'm a lonely one
i'm just a lonelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy onnnnnnnnnnnnne (i am just a)

[fade]
(please, return your love to me, girl)
(forgive me for the wrong i've done
(without your love, i'm just no good)
(i am just a lonely one)
