If the windows need washing if the grass needs a mowing If the paint on the shutters is gone If the kitchen sink is leaking if the backdoor is squeaking You've left her lonely too long You've left her lonely too long too long Too many night you left her all alone So if you started hurtin' then there's one thing for certain You've left her lonely too long [ fiddle ] If there's no curtains in the window no clothes in the closet If the clock in the mantle's run down If the floor you started walking if the neighbors have started talking You've left her lonely too long You've left her lonely too long too long... Oh you've left her lonely too long
