Lyrics
Since my baby left me
oh, I been cryin' all the time
he stole my heart away
as if it were no crime
but now I'm so lonely
oh how I miss that man of mine
mama said it would be easy
said I was better off alone
she said livin' with a cheatin' man
can never be a happy home
but now I'm so lonely
oh how I wish he would come home
Love without a promise
ain't worth nothin' at all
he took away my pride
how will I ever stand up tall
I can't stand this pain
every time I hear his name
I feel lifeless as a rag doll
