There's a whole lot of lonely Waiting out there There's a whole lot of people That'll lead you nowhere So be safe my lover Let me offer my prayer There's a whole lot of lonely Waiting out there There's a whole lot of kisses Waiting out there And the world you been missing That don't play fair Let me offer you comfort And show you how much I care There's a whole lot of lonely waiting, Waiting out there When love is blind sometimes the lies can get you through the night I'm holding on to what I need till you're too tired to fight Now there's a lot of lone riders So baby beware After the warmth of his whisper In the cool night air It'll be hard to wake up to That handsome cold blank stare Cause there's a hell of a lot of lonely waiting out there When love is blind sometimes the lies can get you through the night I'm holding on to what I need till you're too tired to fight Now there's a whole lot of lonely Waiting out there There's a whole lot of people That'll lead you nowhere There's only so much sorrow That a heart can bare There's a hell of a lot of lonely waiting out there There's a hell of a lot of lonely Baby I'm scared Waiting out there
