You know I wake up, it's first light

Didn't sleep, burning my chair all night

Just then on time

She walks in like everything's fine

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her

I'd like to make her my wife

But she's never here enough to reply

I should say goodbye

Believe me I have tried and tried

And tried and tried and tried

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her

In the day time she's like a mannequin

That in the night time can't be found

Man, she's out doing things I can't imagine

In an ordinary town

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll never be alone with her

Don't give your heart to a lonely one

'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl

'Cause you'll spend your nights waitin' up for her

Yeah, yeah
