I came into this lovely city
About three weeks ago today
And I've been trying to find someone that I can talk to
A friendly face to turn my way

I walk these streets in silent sorrow
I walk my feet into the ground
And all I see are cloudy, cold, suspicious faces
I swear to God He brings me down

Is there no one with a smile for me
No one with the hallo in their eyes
Is there no one who will love me
And help me through the dark and lonely night

The park's so green and full of flowers
and lovers lying on the lawn
I wish I had a lady here that I could laugh with
Sweet Jesus Christ, it hurts me so to be alone

Is there no one with a smile for me
No one with the hallo in their eyes
Is there no one who will love me
And help me through the cold and lonely night

Singing la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la
This life is hard and full of trouble
It's painful just to live from day to day
But if you're weary and afraid don't turn away now
There's no reason why we have to feel this way

Is there no one who will smile for me
No one with the hallo in their eyes
Is there no one who will love me
And help me through the cold and lonely night

Singing la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la

I just need someone to talk to
It hurts to be alone
I just need someone to laugh with
It hurts to be alone
I just want someone to love me
I need someone to talk to
And it hurts to be alone

Singing la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la la
Singing la la la la la
