[Verse 1: Morris Day]
Hey girl, when are you comin' back?
Don't know what I'm supposed to do to fill this emptiness
Never thought I'd miss you, but this feelin' I can't hide
It comes in the middle of the day and it stays through the night

[Chorus: Morris Day & The Time]
(Sometimes I get lonely) When it's late at night
(I think of you only) When I want to hold somebody tight
(Sometimes I get lonely) And filled with emptiness, yeah
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love

[Verse 2: Morris Day]
Baby, let me slow this thing down
Think I need a change of pace, think I'll spread myself around
There's only so much time in a day, and I've got things to do, baby
So I'm not gonna spend my time waiting on you

[Chorus: Morris Day & The Time]
(Sometimes I get lonely) You better come home, yeah
(I think of you only) When I want to hold somebody tight
(Sometimes I get lonely) And filled with emptiness, yeah
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love, oh
(Sometimes I get lonely) When it's late at night
(I think of you only) When I want to hold somebody tight
(Sometimes I get lonely) And filled with emptiness
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love
[Bridge: Morris Day & The Time]
(You're leavin' home) So when you're leavin' home?
(Call me) And you're not comin' right back
Just let me know, so I can find some happiness, somewhere else

So what's it gonna be baby?
I think it's about time you start thinkin' about me
Ooh, don't make me wait, baby
If you know what I'm talkin' about, fellas, help me out

[Chorus: Morris Day & The Time]
(Sometimes I get lonely) Hey girl, yeah
(I think of you only) When I want to hold, hold you
(Sometimes I get lonely) And filled with emptiness, hey girl
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love
(Sometimes I get lonely) When it's late, when it's late at night, yeah
(I think of you only) When I want to hold somebody tight
(Sometimes I get lonely) And filled with emptiness, hey girl
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love
(Sometimes I get lonely) Baby, you don't know how it feels when it's late at night
(I think of you only) When I wanna hold you, when I wanna squeeze you tight
(Sometimes I get lonely) Tonight I'm lonely, yeah
(Sometimes I get lonely) For love, for love, hey, yeah

[Outro: Morris Day & The Time]
If you want to please me, please don't tease me
Don't make me wait girl
If you want to please me, please don't tease me
I want to hold your body tight
If you want to please me, please don't tease me
So what's it gonna be, baby?
Sometimes I get lonely
Sometimes I get lonely
Sometimes I get lonely
Sometimes I get lonely
