John Public (1990 Digital Remaster)

She wears her body like a lifetime achievement

It fills the silence when she doesn't know the words

And he is working on his lifetime achievement

But all they want is to be instantly intimate

You've got no mother when you're dressed up for strangers

You keep pretending that you never feel the pain

And he holds his lovers like they're quarters for payphones

They fill the silence and he doesn't even know their names

But I'm a lonely girl na na na na

And I could change the world and everything I am

But I'd rather be alone than someone that you take home

Well the world adores you for the man you have sold them

It fills the silence when you can't believe your name

But I'm not your witness I won't answer your questions

You're just a lonely man who needs someone to blame

But I'm a lonely girl na na na na

And I could change the world and everything I am

But I'd rather be alone than someone

And I know the feeling when love is a stranger

And you've never been in such beautiful danger

And I know the feeling when love is a stranger

And you've never been in such beautiful danger

I'm a lonely girl na na na na

And I could change the world and everything I am

Yeah I'm a lonely girl na na na na

And I could change the world and everything I am

But I'd rather be alone na na na na

I'd rather be alone than someone that you take home
