miss lovely lonely
open your eyes to the morn
take a shower and brush your teeth
wear your shirt and jeans so worn

you heave a sigh
and sip your coffee
you read the paper
and see your favorite celebrity

you leave the house
and go to the park
the sun shines bright
for you, it's just as dark

you sit on a bench
a man sits with you
he's a handsome man
but what can you do

the man leaves
to meet with his date
you shrug your shoulders
lunchtime and you're late

in a table for two
you quietly eat your meal
it's your stomach you fill
but emptiness you feel

you go home
on a scorching afternoon
you watch the weather report
it'll rain soon

you change the channel
and saw a dating game
you wonder if it's possible
to fall in love with just a name

you eat your dinner
alone again, your brain yells
and you wonder if it's possible
to hear your own wedding bells

you log in the internet
and open your e-mail
no new messages, zero messages
you feel the urge to just wail

you crawl into bed
and open a paperback book
the heroine rides off with her hero
oh, how happy they look

miss lovely lonely
close your eyes; your day is done
while my lover and i plan a future
you could only dream of one
