Maybe That Is Why I'm Lonely 1911

I've been calling on you, dearie,
ev'ry night,
I've been trying hard
to get myself in right;
But it only seems to me
I try in vain,
You cause pain,
and you know you're to blame!
Even tho' I've often said
that I love you,
Seems as tho' you never want
to bill and coo,
I would like to make you happy I confess,
Can't you understand it, honey,
can't you guess?

Maybe that is why I'm lonely,
Maybe that is why I'm sad;
Tho' you keep trying
to have me sighing,
You can drive the blues away
with any loving word you say.
Dear come on, honey,
cuddle closer,
act like other sweethearts do;
If I only knew, dear,
you were lonely too, dear,
I wouldn't feel so blue.

Maybe that is why I'm lonely,
Maybe that is why I'm sad;
Tho' you keep trying
to have me sighing,
You can drive the blues away
with any loving word you say.
Dear come on, honey,
cuddle closer,
act like other sweethearts do;
If I only knew, dear,
you were lonely too, dear,
I wouldn't feel so blue.

Now I feel much better
for you're sitting near,
And your head is resting
on my shoulder, dear,
and you say that you
were simply teasing, too!
Made me blue, to see what I would do.
Now I know that for a time
Ive been so blind,
and we'll make up
for the loving we're behind,
So let's start a new love chapter
here today,
Make this one a finished tale,
and I won't say.

Maybe that is why I'm lonely,
Maybe that is why I'm sad;
Tho' you keep trying
to have me sighing,
You can drive the blues away
with any loving word you say.
Dear come on, honey,
cuddle closer,
act like other sweethearts do;
If I only knew, dear,
you were lonely too, dear,
I wouldn't feel so blue.

Maybe that is why I'm lonely,
Maybe that is why I'm sad;
Tho' you keep trying
to have me sighing,
You can drive the blues away
with any loving word you say.
Dear come on, honey,
cuddle closer,
act like other sweethearts do;
If I only knew, dear,
you were lonely too, dear,
I wouldn't feel so blue.
