I live on Lonely Street,
Across the way from Hearbreak Avenue,
Around the corner is Pitiful Place,
And that's where I met you...
You looked just like a cold mid-winter morning,
State grey, with a touch of blue,
Like bad news I arrived without a warning,
And when you asked me what to do...
I said pack your bags, spin your wheels,
You've been too long kicking your heels,
Time for you to leave this place,
Go somewhere they won't know your face,
You can't pay your bills or find your rent,
Next week's money's already spent,
But life could be so sweet...
If you come on over to Lonely Street...
They say that two can live as cheap as one,
They don't come cheaper than me,
So why waste money crying on the phone,
When you can see my face for free...
Two lovers in a living hell,
Throwing pennies down a wishing well
God knows we couldn't wish for more,
But will he give us what we're wishing for!

If you come over, if you come over,
If you come over to Lonely Street,
Lonely Street, ooh, to Lonely Street...
