Mary cries out: "for the love of God"
  As she's walking out of the laundromat
  Down the street and it's the short way home
  Feeling special cause she's so alone
    But we know:
  (The world's full of lonely people)
  And it shows
  (The world's full of lonely people)
    She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
  Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
  Writes a poem and turns the radio on
  Every singer sings the same old song
    And it goes:
  (The world's full of lonely people)
  And it shows
  (The world's full of lonely people)
    But when we she wanted me to go
  She just had to let it show
  To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
  She just wore it on her sleeve
  But at least, I was around
    But when we she wanted me to go
  She just had to let it show
  To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
  She just wore it on her sleeve
  At least, I was around
    Mary Ellen makes the moment count
  As she's looking through old photographs
  Pictures taken from an early age
  Faces look back at her from the page
  And they say
    (The world's full of lonely people)
  It's ok
  (The world's full of lonely people)
  It's ok
  (The world's full of lonely people)
    But when we she wanted me to go
  She just had to let it show
  To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
  She just wore it on her sleeve
  But at least, I was around
  I was around
  I was around
  I was around
    Mary Ellen makes the moment count
