Earth is the loneliest planet of all
Earth is the loneliest planet of all
Day after day you say one day, one day
Day after day you say one day, one day

But you're in the wrong place, and you've got the wrong face
And humans are not really very humane
And earth is the loneliest planet of all

Earth is the loneliest planet of all
Live with a loneliness that no one else knows

Time after time you say next time, next time
Time after time you say next time, next time
But you failed as a woman, and you lose as a man
We do what we can
And earth is the cruelest place you will never understand

But you're in the wrong skin
And the skin that you're in says
Oh, let it begin
And earth is the loneliest planet of all

Earth is the loneliest planet of all
Earth is the loneliest planet of all
Day after day you say one day, one day
Day after day you say one day, one day

But there's always a reason why you're refused
They always blame you, you, you
And there is nothing anyone can do
