Charlie Rich - Lonely Weekends Lyrics

 

Well I'm making alright (Well I'm making alright)

From Monday morning till Friday night

Oh, those lonely weekends

 

Since you left me (since you left me)

I'm as lonely as I can be

Oh, those lonely weekends

 

You said you'd be (ooh-wah) good to me (ooh-wah-wah)

You said our love (ooh-wah) would never die (ooh-wah-wah)

You said you'd be (ooh-wah) good to me (ooh-wah-wah)

But baby, you didn't even try

 

Well I'm making alright (Well I'm making alright)

From Monday morning till Friday night

Oh, those lonely weekends

 

You said you'd be (ooh-wah) good to me (ooh-wah-wah)

You said our love (ooh-wah) would never die (ooh-wah-wah)

You said you'd be (ooh-wah) good to me (ooh-wah-wah)

But baby, you didn't even try

 

Well I'm making alright (Well I'm making alright)

From Monday morning till Friday night

Oh, those lonely weekends

Oh, those lonely weekends

 

Oh, those lonely weekends
