G                         D 
When you were lonely, you needed a man 
G                        D 
Someone to lean on, well I understand 
C 
It's only natural 
    D7                    G   D 
But why did it have to be me
[Strophe]
G                      D 
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold 
G                       D 
So you were looking for someone to hold 
C 
That's only natural 
    D7                    G    G7 
But why did it have to be me

C 
I was so lonesome, I was blue 
G                                        D7 
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I 
                                   G    G7 
Always thought you knew the reason why 
C 
I only wanted a little love affair 
A 
Now I can see you are beginning to care 
    G/B     C 
But baby, believe me 
     A7/C#  G/D  D 
It's better to forget me
