As Good As A Lonely Girl Can Be

Tell me darlin', have I been away too long?

I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home

Have you missed me? I kind of hoped you would

And jokingly, I ask, "Are you being good?"

I'm being good as the lonely girl can be

And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be

Then lying here beside him, Lord knows, how sweet love can be

I'm being good as the lonely girl can be

It was just too much for me, I should've known

You were just too much a woman to leave alone

I just realized I love you, much too late

And Lord, it's killing me to hear you say

I'm being good as the lonely girl can be

(Tell me darlin', have I been away too long?)

And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be

(I know I was wrong to leave)

(But now, all I wanna do is come back home)

Then lying here beside him

(It was just too much for me) darling, how

(I know I should've known) sweet love can be

I'm being good as the lonely (you were just too much woman)

(For me to leave alone) girl can be
