The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

She came in lookin' good and lookin' around

She's checkin' out every man in the room right now

Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong

She's been alone for way too long

Well, the heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire

To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger, to the dark of a neon light

Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight

She hears him say, "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"

And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring

She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand

The consequences of a one night stand

But the heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire

To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger, to the dark of a neon light

Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight

From somewhere deep inside

She tells him no

Before she starts to cry

She turns to go

Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire

To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger, to the dark of a neon light

Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight

Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight
