Walking to a night bar
Got the lady in the grass skirt servin'
Got the old man in the pink suit pervin'
Got my heart in my mouth
I see velvet
I see somethin' deepest blue inside me
See a whole new meaning to lonely
Want to ask all of you to hold me
Cause you all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
Just what it's like
You all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
Just what it's like
Sit myself alone
I'm the blonde girl in the red shoes smiling
Leaving lipstick on a new valentine
Bringing solitude in this heart of mine
We're all strangers
Ever in to make the night time slowly
Each of us a different love story
Now I see a whole meaning to lonely
'Cause you all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
Just what it's like
You all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
'Cause you all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
Just what it's like
You all know just what it's like
Just what it's like
Stranger, save your last dance for me
Cause I just can't stare at the sun anymore
Stranger, save your last dance for me
Magic has cloaked this cage of a body
Into a bird, into a bird
So I can rest here and not be afraid
So I can stay here and not feel afraid
Do you know what it's like?
Do you know what it's like?
