Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]When you were lonely, you [G]needed a man
[C]Someone to lean on, well [G]I understand
[F]It's only natural
But [G]why did it have to be [C]me?[G]
[C]Nights can be empty and [G]nights can be cold
[C]So you were looking for [G]someone to hold
[F]That's only natural
But [G]why did it have to be [C]me?

[Chorus 1]
[F]I was so lonesome, I was blue
[C]I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I[G]
Always thought you knew the reason why
[C]
[F]I only wanted a little love affair
[D]Now I can see you are beginning to care
But [C]baby, be[F]lieve me
It's [D]better [G]to forget me

[Solo 1]
[F][F][C][C]
[G][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Men are the toys in the [G]game that you play
[C]When you get tired, you [G]throw 'em away
[F]That's only natural
But [G]why did it have to be [C]me?
[D]Ooh
Falling in love with a [A]woman like you
[D]Happens so quickly, there's [A]nothing to do
[G]It's only natural
But [A]why did it have to be [D]me?

[Chorus 2]
[G]I was so lonesome, I was blue
[D]I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I[A]
Always thought you knew the reason why
[D]
[G]I only wanted a little love affair
[E]Now I can see you are beginning to care
But [D]baby, be[G]lieve me
It's [E]better [A]to forget me

[Outro 1]
