A Lonely Life

Little John's got his head on right

He does a bang-up business in the middle of the night

And he sits by the radio ain't givin' nothin' away, oh no

And the call's come in on the CB

And Little John's gonna send you what you need

Send you a little somethin' to get you through the day

Oh, to get you through the day

And Little Maria's in deep, can't stop

She been savin' up her money for a beauty shop

She been countin' the days and the years

With a mark on the wall, oh yeah

And she came out here all fresh and young

Said she'd get out of the game 'fore the damage got done

And Little John, he just laughed, now he's heard it all

Yes, he's really heard it all

It's a lonely life (Lonely life)

Wrapped up in the fingers of the night

Snapped up in the net so tight (Lonely life)

You're wonderin' why you came, why you came

Yes, it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

All alone on the derelict streets

You crawl home when you're dead on your feet

You'll never leave the game

No you'll never get out of the game

Oh no, no, oh no, no

And it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

Wrapped up in the fingers of the night

Snapped up in the net so tight (Lonely life)

You're wonderin' why you came, why you came

Yes, it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

All alone on the derelict streets

You crawl home when you're dead on your feet

You'll never leave the game

No you'll never get out of the game

Oh no, no

And there ain't no road in sight that's goin' home

'Cause you got Little John with his spike

And girl, you're all his own

And you think you're markin' time

'Til something comes along

Oh, but you're not the first little princess, baby

To find out you were wrong

And it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

Wrapped up in the fingers of the night (It's a lonely life)

Snapped up in the net so tight (Lonely life)

You're wonderin' why you came, why you came

Yes, it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

All alone on the derelict streets

You crawl home when you're dead on your feet

You'll never leave the game

No you'll never get out of the game

(Lonely life)

Baby, it's a lonely life (Lonely life)

It's such a lonely life (Lonely life)

And you'll never get out

No, you'll never walk out of the game (Lonely life)

Well, baby, it's a lonely life
