Your rating:
Oh, it's just another summer morning, maybe, somewhere in this town, the heat is rising Oh, I know where you spent last night so you can stop apologizing And you say that you've been out, just looking around this town Well, I don't wanna know just exactly what you've found Because tonight I'm going out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts go flying Don't they fly by night I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying And I will stand on the corner watching the men folk go by Well, I don't wanna touch them, honey, I'll look them in the eye And say, "Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts go flying" Oh, I never put a chain upon your heart or tried to make you walk the line for me Only a fool would want a heart that needs a chain to keep it resting here beside of me, yes And you say you wished I cared what you did with your time But what's your time is yours and tonight is gonna be mine And I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying Don't they fly by night I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying And I'm coming out of your pocket and into my own I'm gonna have a stronger heart when I round the bend for home Now I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying I'll be standing on the corner watching the men folk go by Well, I don't wanna touch them, honey, I'll look them in the eye And say, "Tonight I am out on these streets to watch the lonely hearts go flying" Oh, they fly by night I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying Oh, they fly by night I'm going out on these streets tonight to watch the lonely hearts go flying
