- Sally and Johnny -

sally got married
cos she said she needed someone to hold her
in a little white dress
that sparkled like a jewel in the night
and in the honeymoon suite
i was happy to sit and behold her
we were more in lust than love
but it's enough for tonight

she took me to the plane
and said that we were flying to graceland
she said if we were lucky
we could kiss in the jungle room
we'd spent most of our lives
trying to escape from this wasteland
in this land of the lonesome
there's a trace of her perfume

oh oh oh i'll sing a song for the lonesome
some learn to feel, some just learn how to touch
oh oh oh i'll sing a song for the lonesome
how can you hurt someone that you love so much?

she gave me her heart
and said to give it back at the weekend
and we were playing with love
like kids with brand new toy
you can read the book of love
until you get to the end
but tonight it's just you and me, and the need to enjoy

sally left johnny
cos she hated how he looked in the morning
sure he was cool
but only when she needed him hot
when the end comes it's quick without any warning
and we go back to searching the city for someone to love

oh oh oh i'll sing a song for the lonesome
some learn to feel, some just learn how to touch
oh oh oh i'll sing a song for the lonesome
how can you hurt someone that you love so much?
