He never said he loved her 

And she never said she cared 

Now he's out on a ship somewhere 

And she's still running scared 

She never thought to ask him 

And he never thought to say 

Now they're both out somewhere looking for 

The love that got away



She changed her name to Venus 

He got a job in Spain 

She lives alone in Dunbar 

With a cat that has no name 

Once he thought he saw her 

In a Spanish cabaret 

But it was just another stand-in for 

The love that got away



And it's no fun being alone 

She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own 

He's been waiting for a reason to head for home 

'Cause it's no fun with no one

It's no fun being alone



He never said he loved her 

And she never said she cared 

So they've lived alone and never known 

The life they might have shared 

She never thought to ask him 

And he never thought to say 

Now they'd gladly trade their freedom for 

The love that got away



Cause it's no fun being alone 

And she'd sell her soul for someone to call her own 

He's been waiting for a reason to head for home 

It's no fun with no one

It's no fun being alone
