Lyrics
It's lonely living, when you're all alone
Expressing the loneliness experienced when isolated.
Sitting and waiting by the telephone
Waiting and hoping for a phone call.
Waiting for a call that never seems to come
Frustration at not receiving the anticipated call.
Telling me, that of mine's returning home
Yearning for the return of a loved one.
Send her back, send her back
Repeated plea to send the person back.
I'll never more do wrong
Commitment to avoid wrongdoing in the future.
Send her back, send her back
Continued desire for the return of the loved one.
I'm tired of being alone
Expressing weariness and dissatisfaction with loneliness.
I'm lonesome, as lonesome as I can be
Emphasizing intense loneliness.
Please send my baby back to me
Pleading for the return of the speaker's significant other.
Over and over it goes through my mind
Reflecting on persistent thoughts about the situation.
Regrets of the way I wasted all my time
Expressing regret for past actions and time wasted.
Trifling and cheating till I lost my love
Admitting to unfaithfulness and betrayal, leading to the loss of love.
So now I spend this prayer to God above
Turning to prayer as a means of seeking redemption.
Send her back, send her back
Reiterating the plea to send the person back.
I'll never more do wrong
Renewing the commitment to avoid wrongdoing.
Send her back, send her back
Continued desire to end loneliness.
I'm tired of living alone
Expressing weariness with living alone.
I'm lonesome, as lonesome as I can be
Reiterating the depth of loneliness.
Please send my baby back to me
Repeating the plea for the return of the loved one.
Send her back, send her back
Reiterating the plea to send the person back.
I'll never more do wrong
Restating the commitment to avoid wrongdoing.
Send her back, send her back
Renewing the desire to end loneliness.
I'm tired of living alone
Expressing weariness with living alone, once again.
I'm lonesome, as lonesome as I can be
Reiterating the intensity of loneliness.
Please send my baby back to me
Repeating the plea for the return of the loved one.
