the little girl standing in the rain
on the corner of 42nd street
and she's all alone on the bad side of town

cause there was a little boy
that she loved with all her heart
but he's far away with another girl

now she's searching for a friend
just to hold her when she cries


in her lonely nights, lonely nights
where no one seems to care
in her lonely nights, lonely nights

you better beware

but baby you try and you try

but it seems that it doesn't work
cause love is a game that they play
so baby hold on to your heart

when they tell you that they care
yeah now that you know that the winner
takes what he wants

but she's searching for a friend
just hold her when she cries


in her lonely nights, lonely nights
where no one seems to care
in her lonely nights, lonely nights

you better beware

and somewhere in the night

there's a little cry
a girl who says
hey I wanna die

there's no one here who really cares
but if there's someone here who understands
just someone here who'll try to lend a hand

and bring her home tonight, tonight

in her lonely nights, lonely nights

where no one seems to care
in her lonely nights, lonely nights
you better beware


lonely nights...
