It's the boy down the street
But she's goin' nowhere
Oh but he doesn't care
She's a lonely girl

But you'll find out if you leave her a lonely girl, a lonely girl
She's a lonely girl
Given the time don't think she won't find something better
Wonders if they can meet 'cause
Oh the telephone rings
But you'll find out if you leave her a lonely girl, a lonely girl
And saved the last dance
Given the time don't think she won't find something better

Says he just wants to talk
So she watches TV
She's a lonely girl
She's a lonely girl
She's gettin' bored
And lonely girls don't stay lonely forever
You're thinkin' now that you don't need her

She calls on the phone
You're thinkin' now that you don't need her
Seems he isn't home
And lonely girls don't stay lonely forever
With being ignored
She took a chance
Oh, she's startin' to see
