G                         D
When you were lonely, you needed a man

G                        D
Someone to lean on, well I understand

C
It's only natural

    D7                    G   D
But why did it have to be me
[Verse]
G                      D
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold

G                       D
So you were looking for someone to hold

C
That's only natural

    D7                    G    G7
But why did it have to be me
[Chorus]
C
I was so lonesome, I was blue

G                                        D7
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

                                   G    G7
Always thought you knew the reason why

C
I only wanted a little love affair

A
Now I can see you are beginning to care

    G/B     C
But baby, believe me

     A7/C#  G/D  D
It's better to forget me  
[Instrumental] | C | | % | G | % | D7 | % | G | D7 | [Verse]
G                   D
Men are toys in the game that you play

G                       D
When you get tired, you throw them away

C
That's only natural

    D7                  | G | % | A | % |
But why did it have to be me
[Verse]
A                      E
Falling in love with a woman like you

A                           E
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do

D
It's only natural

    E7                    A     A7
But why did it have to be me
[Chorus]
D
I was so lonesome, I was blue

A                                        E
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I

                                   A    A7
Always thought you knew the reason why

I only wanted a little love affair

But baby, believe me

     B7/D#  A/E   E
It's better to forget me
