“All Day Long”


All day long, I’m so depressed.
All day long, I’m so distressed.
I suffer pain all day long.
I get lonely all day long.

All day long, I think of nothing but you.
All day long, I have so much love for you.
Without you, I’m scared all day long.
Without you, I cry all night long.

You hide from me and make me lonely.
You dislike me and you confuse me.
My love for you is so very strong.
But you make me lonely all day long.

I need to see you all day long.
I need to love you all day long.

All day long, I’m so depressed.
All day long, I’m so distressed.
All day long, I’m without you.
All day long, I think of you.
All day long, I’m so lonely.
All day long, you ignore me.
All day long and all night long,
my thoughts for you are so strong.

I hate to be depressed like this.
But I guess that’s the way it is.
I have to suffer.
All day long.
