Once I loved a pretty woman
Till one day she up and ran
S'pose I should have felt it coming
But it's hard to think of her with another man
Oh my lady I need you
Though from time to time I don't seem to
Once the sun shone in my garden
Till my love took off and left me with the rain
Now my heart and I are starting
To forget it all and start out again
Oh my lady I need you
Though from time to time I don't seem to
My heart is hurting so bad
And all the trees look so sad
And all the love we could have had
Ooh, ooh from time to time
