Lonely Hearts

Saw your ad in the column, took your number down,
I would have called you sooner, but I've been out of town,
I know this might seem crazy, but still I'm going to say it,
Jesus made me care for you; the debt we owed, he paid it.

Lonely hearts and hidden fears, cigarettes and late night tears,
Place the ad, and maybe soon someone shares an empty room,
Lonely hearts and hidden fears, cigarettes and late night tears,
Place the ad, and maybe soon someone shares an empty room.

You sat there night after night and now you're drawing straws,
Trying to find the right somebody; not everybody does,
'Cause there's only one who's right, the rest of us are wrong,
Until we hold his love inside, until we sing his song.

Lonely hearts and hidden fears, cigarettes and late night tears,
Place the ad, and maybe soon someone shares an empty room,
Lonely hearts and hidden fears, cigarettes and late night tears,
Place the ad, and maybe soon someone shares an empty room.

Lonely hearts, lonely hearts, lonely hearts.

You sat there night after night and now you're drawing straws,
Trying to find the right somebody; not everybody does,
I saw your ad in the column - no, I'm not going to show,
Just had to ring you up today, offering you love.

His love, his love, oh, his love,
His love, his love, oh, his love.

Lonely hearts and hidden fears, cigarettes and late night tears,
Place the ad, and maybe soon someone shares an empty room,
I saw your ad in the column - no, I'm not going to show,
Just had to ring you up today, offering you love.
