Don’t You Know There Are Lonely People In The World?
Hey there, cute girl, with the wild curly hair
Laughing and smooching with your boyfriend over there
Gushing and giggling like a crushed out little girl
Don't you know there are lonely people in the world?
Hey there, beautiful, with the turtleneck on
Rubbing against the boy whose arm you came in on
Your eyes like roses and your lips like crushed pearls
Don't you know there are lonely people in the world?
Don't you know how hard it is to trawl the bars for nights on end?
Don't you know how it sucks to pretend you give a fuck about your married friends?
And don't you think it's a sin
To rub it in?
All you post-coital couples crowding the breakfast joints
With your bed head and your flushed cheeks, yeah I get the point
You're in love your in love like strawberry swirl
Don't you know there are lonely people in the world?
All you fresh young marrieds with your babies running around
Can't you keep your hands to yourselves when I'm around?
Your cooing and cuddling how it makes me want to hurl
Don't you know there are lonely people in the world?
Do you know how it feels to believe something's real and then come to find out
At the end of the day there is nothing you can say to stop her from walking out
The more your heart is devout, the easier it is to rip out
Don't you know how hard it is to trawl the bars for nights on end
Don't you know how it sucks to pretend you give a fuck about your married friends?
And don't you think it's a sin
To rub it in?
