Words and music by John Kay and Gabriel Mekler



She's all alone, just lost another one

Met him yesterday and he's already gone

And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time

A smiling face will come that knows the right line

And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy

And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why



She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one

'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some

All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none

She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some



She tries too hard and she comes on too strong

Digs herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong

She's too impressed by things that do not matter

To be the Queen of hearts is what she's after.

And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy

And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why



She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one

'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some

All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none

She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some



Repeat
