People, people, people
You know what it means to be left alone
People, people, people
Don't you know what it means to be left alone?
No letter today
Not even called on the telephone

Understand that a little lovin'
And I know that's all in the world I need
Understandin' and a little lovin', baby
And I know that's all in the world I need
Misunderstanding of a no good woman
They've both caused my heart to bleed

Every mornin'
The willows weep and moan for me
Every mornin'
Those willows weep and moan for me
The bird sings me a little song
My baby's caused my heart to bleed

People, people, people
Don't you know what it means to be left alone?
People, people, people
Don't you know what it means to be left alone?
No letter today
I ain't got no call on my telephone
