Crystal was a waitress at the Night Owl Lounge

Pretty as a picture was she

Sammy was her drinkin' buddy

Bought a round for the pleasure of her company

Crystal had weakness for the silent type

And Sammy stole her heart away

But three weeks later she was gone from sight

And poor Sammy had a lot to say

Oh boy

He said

All I wanted was to hold her tight

But all she gave me was a heap of heartaches

And a whole lot of lonely nights

All I wanted was her to do me right

But she done me wrong and left me hanging on

To a whole lot of lonely nights

It ain't right

Everybody noticed when the change set in

It was just a few things at first

Sammy started cussin' and he shunned his friends

And then it went from bad to worse

One night he broke a window down at Hi Fi

Stole himself a stereo set

His bail paying momma asked him why son why

He said you ain't seen nothin yet

Oh Mamma

All I wanted was to hold her tight

But all she gave me was a heap of heartaches

And a whole lot of lonely nights

All I wanted was her to do me right

But she done me wrong and left me hanging on

To a whole lot of lonely nights

It ain't right

Last they heard from Sammy he'd jumped his bail

He was somewhere in the great southwest

Flippin burgers for minimum scale

And going by an alias

Every now and then at the Night Owl Lounge

Crystal hears the telephone ring

She picks it up and then she slams it down

It's long distance from the Burger King

Poor thing

He said

All I wanted was to hold you tight

But all you gave me was a heap of heartaches

And a whole lot of lonely nights

All I wanted was you to do me right

But you done me wrong and left me hanging on

To a whole lot of lonely nights

But you done me wrong and left me hanging on to a whole

Lot of lonely nights

A whole lot of lonely nights

I said

A whole lot of lonely nights

It ain't right
