Text: Gwen Verdon. When Velma Takes The Stand.

I can't take it, I'm so lonely girl, I need you so
And I can't take it and I wonder why you had to go

And baby, every night I wake up cryin'
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind

I remember all the good times we used have before
I remember how my heart, my very soul cries out for more

And baby, every night I wake up cryin'
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind

I remember all the good times we used have before
I remember how my heart, my very soul cries out for more

And baby, all your love for me is dying
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind

And baby, all your love for me is dying
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind

I can't take it, I'm so lonely girl, I need you so
And I can't take it and I wonder why you had to go

And baby, every night I wake up cryin', oh
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind
There's tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, you on my mind
