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
