The Things We Do (When We’re Lonely) Songtext
von Bobby Womack

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ah
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

So, I put back my keys, I told her goodbye and I walked out the door (walked out the door)
I drove away, so care for my tune, goodbye
But I broke down that night, I called out her number and her phone starts to ring (ring, ring, ring, ring)
No one was there, I had wasted my time, she hadn′t wasted much time

All the things we do when we're lonely
Don′t seem that much in the light of the dead
All the things we do when we're lonely
Do sound we all, we all know
But it can't make the hurt go away

I′m pretending not to care, knowing your emotions, being alone
Friends come around, tell me that I′ll be all right, I'll be all right
But I still call her name, hoping that she′ll hear me, knowing that she won't
If she should call, I′d run right back to her side (run back to her)


All the things we do when we're lonely
Don′t seem that much in the light of the dead
All the things we do when we're lonely
Do sound weird, we all know
But it can't, oh, make the hurt go away

If she should call, I′d run right back to her side (run back to her)

All the things we do when we′re lonely
Don't seem that much in the light of the dead
All the things we do when we′re lonely
Do sound weird, we all know
But it can't (but it can′t), no, no, no, no, can't make it go away

All the things we do when we′re lonely (all the things we do when we get lonely)
Don't seem that much in the light of the dead
All the things we do when we're lonely
Do sound weird, we all know (well, that′s sure)
But it can′t (but it can't) make the hurt go away

All the things we do when we′re lonely
Don't seem that much in the light of the dead (all the things)
All the things we do when we′re lonely (we do when we get lonely)
Do sound weird, we all know
But it can't (but it can′t)...
