Lyrics I Get so Doggone Lonesome - Johnny Rivers

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
I try to make believe there's nothin' wrong
Oh, but they're always askin' me about you darlin'
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone

If they asked me I guess I'd be denyin'
That I've been unhappy all along
Oh, but if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darlin' when she comin' home

Well I asked myself a million times what's right for me to do
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you
Well I make it pretty good until that moon comes shinin' through
And then I gets a doggone lonesome

Well time stands still when you're waitin'
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too
You know one lonely hour seems forever
Just sixty minutes more to wait for you

Oh but I guess I'll keep waitin' 'til you're with me
'Cause I believe that lovin' you is right
Oh and I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow
If I can't have you with me tonight

Well I know I'll keep on lovin' you 'cause true love can't be killed
I know I oughta get you off my mind but I guess I never will
I could have a dozen others but I know I'd love you still
'Cause I gets a doggone lonesome
Oh I gets a doggone lonesome
Oh I gets a doggone lonesome
Oh I gets a doggone lonesome
