Alone in her room
Got on his favorite perfume
But she's goin' nowhere
She took a chance

And saved the last dance
Oh but he doesn't care
She's a lonely girl
She's a lonely girl

She calls on the phone
Seems he isn't home
So she watches TV
She's gettin' bored

With being ignored
Oh, she's startin' to see
She's a lonely girl
She's a lonely girl

And lonely girls don't stay lonely forever
Given the time don't think she won't find something better
You're thinkin' now that you don't need her
But you'll find out if you leave her a lonely girl, a lonely girl

Oh the telephone rings
It's the boy down the street
Says he just wants to talk
Wonders if they can meet 'cause

And lonely girls don't stay lonely forever
Given the time don't think she won't find something better
You're thinkin' now that you don't need her
But you'll find out if you leave her a lonely girl, a lonely girl
