I'm just a woman, a lonely woman

Waiting on the weary shore

I'm just a woman, who's only human

One you should feel sorry for

Well I woke up this morning

Along about dawn

Without a warning I found

That he was gone

Why did he do it?

How could he do it?

He never done it before

Am I blue, am I blue?

Ain't these tears in these eyes

Telling you, am I blue?

Well I bet you would be too

If each plan with your man done fell through

There was a time

I was his only one

But now I'm

The second lonely one

Was I gay till today?

But now that man is gone

He's gone and we are through

Am I blue?

There was a time

I was his only one

But now, right now, now, now

I'm the second lonely one

Oh, God I'm lonely

But I remember

Oh, I remember when I was gay

That was up until today

'Cause now that man is gone

He's gone and we are through

Am I, am I, would you believe it

If I told you I'm blue?
