I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman, who's only human
One yu should feel sorry for.

Well, I woke up one morning
Along about dawn
Without a warning I found
That he was gone.

Why did he do it?
How could he di it?
He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue?

Ain't these tears in my eyes
Telling you, am I blue?
Well, I bet you would be too
If each plan with your man done fell through.

There was a time
I was his only one
But now I'm
The second lonely one.

Was I gay till today?
But now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I blue?

There was a time
I was his only one
But now, right now, now, now
I'm the second lonely one.

Oh, God I'm lonely
But I remember
Oh, I remember when I was gay
That was up until today.

'Cause now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I, am I, would you believe it
If I told you I'm blue?...
