Lyric
There’s a band called “The Lonely” playin’ downtown tonightAnd man, they know their way around the bluesThere’s not an empty space in the parkin’ lotAnd there’s a line stretchin’ around the blockAnd the sad man standin’ at the door says the place is full of broken heartsIf you’re here to see “The Lonely, ” if you’re here to see “The Lonely”It’s standin’ room only for “The Lonely”Oh, you can dance with a stranger under the smoky blue lightsYou can stand alone with lovers who love to loseYou can drown in your pain if there’s room at the barYou can hide your tears, you can cry in the darkWhile “The Lonely” sings a song straight to your broken heartIf you’re here to see “The Lonely, ” if you’re here to see “The Lonely”It’s standin’ room onlyIf you’re here to see “The Lonely, ” if you’re here to see “The Lonely”It’s standin’ room onlyIf you’re here to see “The Lonely, ” if you’re here to see “The Lonely”If you’re here to see “The Lonely, ” if you’re here to see “The Lonely”It’s standin’ room only
