[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights I cried for you
All week long, now
Seven lonely nights I cried
I died inside for you, baby
[Verse 1]
We swore by the holy book
To cherish and obey, now (Cherish and obey)
And I stuck right by my promise
Up until to that very day now
[Pre-Chorus]
But you weren't happy that's for certain
Now I'm throwing that final curtain on you, girl
Hear me, baby
And begging won't bring your rescue
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights I cried for you
Tears are falling
Seven lonely nights I cried
I died inside for you, baby
[Verse 2]
By myself I'm going crazy
I ate humble pie (Ate humble pie)
While you were out having a good time
Keeping yourself satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
Cigarettes and coffee nightly
Just a pillow to hold on tightly to
Hear me, baby
It's your turn to cry, the hurting's on you, girl
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights I cried for you
All week long, baby
Seven lonely nights I cried
And I died inside for you, baby
[Verse 3]
All week long your man ate and slept in
Early this morning you came creeping in crying, oh, baby
'Cause you blew it this time
And I ain't lying
[Chorus]
Seven lonely nights I cried for you
All night long, girl
Seven lonely nights I cried
And I cried and I sighed for you, baby
Seven lonely nights I cried for you
All night long, girl
Seven lonely nights I cried
And I cried and I sighed for you, baby
