She's just 18 years old
She's ready to spread her wings and fly
And now she has to make a decision
She got to choose one or the other guy
Lonely fool
Oh lonely fool she's gonna choose you
Don't matter who that girl gonna choose
Some lonely boy is gonna have the blues
Work hard, make your money
Go to work every day
You try do the right things, but it's so hard
All them problems get in the way
Lonely fool
Time gonna catch up to you
No matter which road you choose
Oh someday, I know you're gonna have the blues hey
One day you're gonna be sorry
But it's gonna be too late
Your girl done walked out on you
And your friends they all gone
Lonely fool, I know someday you gonna be cryin'
No matter which road you choose I know
I know someday you gonna be cryin' the blues yeahhhhh
You work hard for your money
You try to do the right things but you still end up down
Sometimes life don't seem so fair
Sometimes nobody cares
No matter what you do I think you gonna cry the blues
