[Verse 1]
Well it's a big, big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty, won't tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold to say "would you be mine"
And though I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
I may be on a downer, I'm still ready to dream
But it's three o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk

[Hook]
So if you're lonely
Why do you say you're not lonely?
Oh you're a silly boy, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A guy like you's just irresistible

[Verse 2]
Well it's a big, big city and the lights are all out
But it's as much as I can do, you know, to figure you out
And I must confess
My heart's in broken pieces and my head's a mess
And it's four in the morning and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who's ever done wrong
And it's you, woo-hoo, who's got me going crazy for the things you do
[Hook]
So if you're crazy
I don't care, you amaze me
But you're a stupid guy, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, I laugh, I cry
And only, a guy like you can be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A girl like me's just irresistible

[Outro]
So if you're lonely
Why do you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly boy, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
But you're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A guy like you's just irresistible
