My mother, she told me to stay away from boys And I did Ma, and I did Ma "You can enjoy yourself home with your toys" And I did Ma, and I did Ah, but I was lonely Never had a boyfriend I was lonely, oh so lonely And then I found out toys were different from m...

All those broken promises All those shattered dreams All this ache and loneliness that hides inside of me I've been waiting for so long I've forgotten what it's like to feel somebody's arms around my life All this longing All this yearning All this h...

Underneath the neon sign of harry's bar and grill Someone hugs a bottle to take away the chill Oh, but the wind still blows Carries his sleeping soul as far as lonely goes Upstairs in a penthouse behind a golden door Someone's drinking pink champagne to keep f...
