When then lights are off, I need a man to touch I need my back to bend I need a heavy hand I need a book to write I need a gentle fight I need a day gone by I need the dog to bite But I'm lonely now I know it's hard for you I know you know what to do But I know it's hard for you When the lights are off I hear a ringing bell I hear a sweet farewell I hear the poet fail I hear the birds of night I hear the unwon fight I hear my mind gone wild I hear an unborn child When the lights are off I'm in a strangers dress I'm in a beating chest I'm in an empty nest I'm in the bluest note I'm on (in) a boat alone (the bed alone) I'm a girl that's been thrown And I'm on the telephone And I'm crying out Oh I'm crying out Oh I'm crying out I'm crying out I'm lonely now I know it's hard for you I know you know what to do But I know it's hard for you
