I sometimes see her down by the riv-er
The wa-ter danc-es on h er skin;
As she can ca p-ti-vate you with her eyes
but she will n ev-er let you in
And i n the dark she ling-er s 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'v e seen so m a-ny fa-ces just like hers
so ma-ny b ro-ken hearts in the world
And ah what a lone-ly
What a lone-ly girl
He said l ate-ly she's been watch-ing the wea-ther
the wea-ther does-n't know w hat to do
'cause so me-times when it's cold out-side
that's w hen she's feel-ing blue
He said I see throu gh her sad- ness
d eep with-in her soul
a ll sh e want s 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 m a-ny fa-ces jus t like hers
so ma-ny bro- ken hearts i n the worl d
And ah what a lone-ly
What a lone-ly girl
isn't it in-cr e-di-ble?
Oh is-n't it re-g ret-ta-ble
that she found sweet love
t hen she let it go?
And I've seen so ma-ny fa-ces just like hers
so ma-ny b ro-ken hearts i n the world
And ah what a lone-ly
What a lone-ly and ah
And ah what a lone-ly
what a l one- ly girl
