Sheila B. Devotion - Seven lonely days 1979

Original by Georgia Gibbs & The Yale Brothers 1953

Seven lonely days
make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights
make one lonely me.
Ever since the time
you told me you were through.
Seven lonely days
I cried and cried for you.

Oh, my darlin' I'm cryin',
boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
There's no use in denying
I cried for you.
It was your favourite pastime
making me blue.
Last week was the last time
I cried for you.

Seven hankies blue
I filled it with my tears.
Seven letters too
I filled it with my fears.
Guess it never pays
to make your lover blue.
Seven lonely days
I cried and cried for you.

Oh, my darlin' I'm cryin',
boo-hoo-hoo-hoo
It's too late in denying
to start a-new.
From the one you'll meet me
with someone new.
Last week was the last time
I cried for you.

Seven lonely days
make one lonely week.
Seven lonely nights
make one lonely me.
Ever since the time
you told me you were through.
Seven lonely days
I cried and cried for you.
Seven lonely days
I cried and cried for you.
Seven lonely days
I cried and cried for you.
Seven lonely days
