verse 1
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
verse 2
She changed her name to Venus, he got a job in Spain
And 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
verse 3
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
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
