Oh, Donna Where can you be?

Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna Oh, darlin', now that you're gone
Oh, Donna I don't know what I'll do
All the time and all my love
I had a girl For you
Donna was her name
Since she left me I had a girl
I've never been the same Donna was her name
Since she left me
'Cause I love my girl I've never been the same
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be? 'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Now that you're gone Where can you be?
I'm left all alone
All by myself Oh, Donna
To wander and roam Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna
'Cause I love my girl Oh, Donna
Donna, where can you be?
