DAs the people move by loGok in thier eyes
You might find someone you recognize
It could be a good friend from long ago
And maybe some girl you’d still like to know
AmYouv’e sCeen her all around Gthis townD  
And she’s not gonna bring you down
Go out and find her make it a game
She’s thinking of you and feels the same
Way …you do
Just like ordinary people feelin blue
Chorus:
DI know she gets loGnely
Oh oh she’s so lonely
Look out kid shes gonna break your heart
We all saw that right from the start
I’m a little surprised you didn’t see it too
Just look at all the crazy things that girls been doin to you
Look at all those crazy things that she does to you
Look at all those crazy things that she does to you
And you do em to her too
Yea, you do em to her too
