I've thought your love would last a whole lot longer than it did
But before I knew what happened we were through
Your love for me started dying long before its time
And I'm lonely early prematurely blue
Lonely early prematurely blue
Hurtin' like I'm not prepared to do
By this goodbye that I just got from you
I'm lonely surely much too early prematurely blue
[ guitar ]
I've heard of love that come and go but you beat all I've seen
Here this morning gone this afternoon
I didn't even have a chance to get out her memory
Cause I'm lonely early prematurely blue
Lonely early prematurely blue...
