Lonely Drifter Lyrics By The O Jays

    oh lonely lonely drifter
    oh lonely lonely drifter

    as i sit here on the shore
    wondering what happened to me

    drifting away from the world
    all alone without your girl
    i’m wondering will i forever be

    a lonely drifter
    watching the waves
    lonely drifter
    slowly drifting out to sea
    lonely drifter

    cause i i i don’t
    want to have to be a
    lonely lonely drifter
    a lonely lonely drifter

    when will it end
    when will i not feel so bad
    must i go on this way
    maybe maybe tomorrow they say
    or will it ever happen that way

    a lonely drifter
    watching the waves
    lonely drifter
    slowly drifting out to sea
    lonely drifter

    is it too late for me
    lonely drifter
    help me somebody
    lonely drifter
