Lonely Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Good morning, mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
[Verse 2]
I see you every morning
Outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant
[Chorus]
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
[Interlude]
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
[Verse 3]
Good morning, mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
Good morning, mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
[Verse 2]
I see you every morning
Outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant
[Chorus]
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
[Interlude]
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
[Verse 3]
Good morning, mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
[Outro]
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights) Yeah, yeah
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights) Yeah, yeah
Lonely days, lonely nights...
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights) Yeah, yeah
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Lonely days, lonely nights
(Lonely days, lonely nights)
Where would I be without my woman?
(Lonely days, lonely nights) Yeah, yeah
Lonely days, lonely nights...
About
Genius Annotation
The lead single from their November 1970 album 2 Years On, it drew several comparisons to the British rock band The Beatles' side two of Abbey Road, with it’s innovative structure and changing tempos.
Written in August 1970, the same night as their next hit, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?, “Lonely Days” became the group’s biggest hit in the US up until that point, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. (How Can You Mend A Broken Heart broke that record less a year later, reaching the top spot despite failing in the UK)
