It's a cold, cold city When you're out there on your own What a shame and a pity That no one wants to know I see the people laugh and share But for me there's no one there This empty life just isn't fair And the world don't see me here CHORUS: I'm on the lonely Lonely side of town right here I'm on the lonely Lonely side of town Well I never was a loner How did I fall so far? Tell me where did I go wrong Did I stay away too long? With my old friends it's not the same Seems we don't know what to say I understand but still it's strange When your friends just fade away CHORUS I see the people laugh and share But for me there's no one there This empty life just isn't fair And the world don't see me here CHORUS
