Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, it's hard

It's so hard

[Verse 2]

And it's a lonely planet joy when

When the song from your other boys

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin', baby, for your love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Verse 3]

Oh, you pick me up

You're out drivin' in your car

When I tell you where I'm goin'

Always tellin' me it's too far

[Verse 4]

But how could you be drivin'

Down by my home

When ya know I ain't got one

And I'm, I'm so all alone

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Verse 5]

Oh, it's a lonely planet joy when

When the song from your other boys

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin', oh, I'm cryin'

Baby, for your love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Verse 6]

Oh, it's so lonely, oh, oh

[Verse 7]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Verse 8]

Oh, can't you hear me callin'?

I'm a thousand miles away

And I don't wanna stay

I'm thinkin' words I gotta say

[Verse 9]

'Cause I wanna be there witcha

And I know what to bring

I remember from the days

We got over everything

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

[Verse 10]

Oh, it's such a lonely planet joy

When the song from your other boys

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin', oh, I'm cryin'

Can't ya see I'm dyin'

Baby, for your love?

[Verse 11]

Whoa, whoa, yeah

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

My little runaway
