A studio apartment somewhere new Somewhere far away from here How does it feel Are you lonesome Now you've got first chair But a broken heart won't mend When your cello's your only friend It doesn't matter what they're paying you edith wong When you're sitting in the spotlight A standing ovation every night Does it occur to you That something isn't right & When you're kissing someone new But you know that your heart's not through With the last boy Do you say to yourself this'll do You can hide in the cinema You've got the money to spend But the movies always end & Then it's your life again You can practice all day long Until the notes are perfect But your heart's all wrong Calloused fingers won't make you strong edith wong
