Analysis of lonely another day
paths are made
by people moving towards each other and away
numbers are lost roads are over paved
and somewhere someone's lonely another day
sometimes a man lets his friends
interfere with what he intends
but to me no friend can compare
to a woman's rapturous care
oh, in life's dangers
I wouldn't want to be spared
if my woman couldn't be with me there yea
so, if you find
a woman that stays on your mind
remember where your good times lie
and I'd rather lose a friend
then make a woman cry
paths are made
by people moving towards each other and away
numbers are lost roads are over paved
and somewhere someone's lonely another day
