A disarming smile Can take you by surprise She has a knack of picking perfect victims She’s got the honeyed words Knows how to keep them wanting more A glass in hand, a plan to find the perfect man And so it goes again She’ll find another fine specimen And take all that he’s got It’s never enough Before too long she’s alone Now it’s Friday night Her favourite hunting time A wave flows, conversation stalls, when she walks through the door She’s all eyes and legs A vision dressed in red All night, they’ll come and try But what she’s looking for money can’t buy And so it goes again She’ll find another fine specimen And take all that he’s got It’s never enough Before too long she’s Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone And so it goes again She’ll find another fine specimen And take all that he’s got It’s never enough And before too long, she’s Learning to be happy on her own

Leaves are turning gold Autumn nights, perfect time to drown in wine Bed is cold, the ache is old Old friend why do you plague me? We’ve danced these steps before You try your old games I’d rather be alone And you ask me to save you, brave you You ask me to lose myself You follow me into sleep Am I awake or am I dreaming? A warm body wrapped around mine Could make me lose my head I’m not ready to forget yet You ask me to save you, brave you You ask me to lose myself Loneliness Threatens to dissolve my resolve I can’t forget You forced me to tear open my soul Loneliness Threatens to dissolve my resolve My heart’s still a mess And that takes some time to repair For three months I cried but today my eyes are dry And I’m starting to think maybe I’m gonna be alright If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that nothing stays the same If you need to be saved, it’s only you who can do the saving Loneliness Threatens to dissolve my resolve I can’t forget You forced me to tear open my soul Loneliness Threatens to dissolve my resolve My heart’s still a mess And that takes some time That takes some time That takes some time

Fate, what have you got in store for me today? Too late, yes I can see for some time it was too late. Too long, we cycled round and round in a twisted game. Shame, yes I’m ashamed that I let myself be treated that way. Is it too much to ask To be loved? Denial, we can talk ourselves into anything. Deserving so much more and more than their prepared to give. Generosity, reciprocity, taking pleasure in giving pleasure. Free, together but not one, I think that’s where we went wrong. Is it too much to ask To be loved? Is it too much to ask To be loved? Is it too much to ask To be loved? Is it too much to ask To be loved?

I don’t know if we’re meant to be or If we just get lonely It felt so great at the time Listened to my heart, not my mind I’m not sure if I’m better for it Though I’m broken now Can’t help but cry all the time I think I’ll take a little break from love for now Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from Trying to work out who I am now Who I am without you I remember I was strong once That’s what I’m working to We made so many stories Can’t forget even though I sort of want to I just keep on plodding along Hoping some time I’ll look up And have made it through Sometimes I miss you Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from And at some point there might be someone else With a lot of love to give, maybe they’ll want kids We might just get along, and get a second chance at doing happiness at doing happiness Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from Ooh to love, be loved, to love, be loved A little break from
