It´s hard to love somebody, and leave her all the time,
It´s hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind,
You treat me like a stranger, and I can understand,
´Cause you´re a lonely woman, and I´m a travelin´ man, well.

Lookin´ through the window, I saw you wave goodbye,
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, to stand by his side,
And I need you, to keep me satisfied.

Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I´d love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There´s one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.

Well if you ever leave me, I´ll be the one to blame,
But I never gambled to play a losin´ game,
My cards are on the table, I ain´t a cheatin´ man,
I´m livin´ for your lovin´, I hope you understand.

Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I´d love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There´s one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.

All the miles between us, you and I,
All the lonely nights we sat and cried,
Too many to replace, and it´s too hard to erase,
I don´t know what to do,
Well I don´t know what to do, no.

I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, I want you to know,
Well I need you, I hate to see you go.
