Almost everybody's with his girl down in the lobby
While I'm standing here in crumbling repose
I guess nobody knows
About the feeling I've got running through my toes
May be the reason that I'm always on my own

Must beat being lonely
Does it beat that lonely lonely feeling baby?
I bet that it does
With your one and only
Whispers in the dark
Mountain high
River deep
And valley low
There's a thousand ways to choose the one you love

But I had nothing
Nothing to do
While I wanted someone
Someone like you
To come along and teach me what I can't learn by myself

Tears inside a bottle
Though you're not the perfect model
I take comfort that I'm not the only one
We've all got something wrong
Cause there's a weakness in the confident and strong
Now I've been looking through your window far too long

Must beat being lonely
Does it beat that lonely lonely feeling baby?
I bet that it does
With your one and only
Whispers in the dark
Mountain high
River deep
And valley low
There's a thousand ways to lose the one you love
But that's not good enough
