| Ev'ry night I walk the floor - | worried | over | you |

| I'm the | saddest | soul in town - I | CAN'T GO | ON THIS | WAY. |
| Where are you - at tonight? - while I wait and pray |
| You know you ain't doin' right - I CAN'T GO ON THIS WAY |
| Lonesome me, sad and blue - tryin' hard to say |
| I'm so much in love with you - I CAN'T GO ON THIS WAY. |
| You don't want me anymore - guess my love was blind |
| Never felt this way before - 'bout to lose my mind |
| Moanin' Low, Moanin' High - hair is turnin' gray |
| Don't care if I live or die - I CAN'T GO ON THIS WAY. |
