I sometimes see her down by the riv-er,
The wa-ter danc-es on her skin;
As she can cap-ti-vate you with her eyes
but she will nev-er let you in
And in the dark she ling-ers like a tear
with-out a soul
And ah
What a lone-ly girl
try'n' to find her way in this mixed up
messed up world
And I've seen so ma-ny fa-ces just like hers
so ma-ny bro-ken hearts in the world
And ah what a lone-ly,
What a lone-ly girl
He said late-ly she's been watch-ing the wea-ther,
the wea-ther does-n't know what to do
'cause some-times when it's cold out-side
that's when she's feel-ing blue
He said I see through her sad-ness
deep with-in her soul
all she wants to have is some-one she can love
to make her whole
And ah
What a lone-ly girl
try'n' to find her way in this mixed up
messed up world
And I've seen so ma-ny fa-ces just like hers
so ma-ny bro-ken hearts in the world
And ah what a lone-ly,
What a lone-ly girl
isn't it in-cre-di-ble?
Oh is-n't it re-gret-ta-ble
that she found sweet love
then she let it go?
And I've seen so ma-ny fa-ces just like hers,
so ma-ny bro-ken hearts in the world
And ah what a lone-ly,
What a lone-ly, and ah
And ah what a lone-ly,
what a lone-ly girl
