Every time a man gets lonely
He can see his life go by
He's hot to feel so cold and hungry
all the world at his feet
But it can't make him feel worthwhile
And maybe he makes friends
But loneliness stays at his side
He sees her everywhere he goes
Every time a man gets lonely
He just can't keep his mind off the past
Soon no joke he hears seems funny
Cause there ain't no one around
But he can't buy the one thing he needs
But a kiss ain't what it takes to please
And though you see a gleam in his eyes
cause he's starting to cry
Every time a man gets lonely,
And baby there's a saying
But the only thing he knows is pain
he has to wear a disguise
Cause I heard it's just too
Reaching down is hard to do
Every time a man is lonely
He can see his life go by
He starts to feel so cold and hungry
Every time I'm laying slowly
He just can't keep his mind off the past
And soon no jokey here in St. John's
Cos there ain't no -one around
Every time a man gets lonely
He can see his life go by
He starts to feel so cold and hungry
Oh yeah, all he can do is dance
