She came in lookin' good and lookin' around

She's checkin' out every man in the room right now

Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong she's been alone way too long

Oh the heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire

To find some lastin' comfort in the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger to the dark of the neon light

Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight

[ guitar ]

She hears him say hey can I buy you a drink

And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring

She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand the consequences of a one night stand

But the heart is a lonely hunter...

From somewhere deep inside she tells him no before she starts to cry she turns to go

Oh the heart is a lonely hunter...

Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight
