The little girl standing in the rain on the corner of 42nd street
And she's all alone on the bad side of town
'Cause there was a little boy that she loved with all her heart
But he's far away with another girl
Now she's searching for a friend
Just to hold her when she cries
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
Where no one seems to care
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware
But baby you try and you try but it seems that it doesn't work
'Cause love is a game that they play
So baby hold on to your heart when they tell you that they care
Yeah now that you know that the winner takes what he wants
Now she's searching for a friend, oh yeah
Just hold her when she cries
She cries in her lonely nights, lonely nights
Where no one seems to care
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware
Somewhere in the night there's a little cry
A girl who says, I wanna die there's no one here who cares
But if there's someone here who understands
Just someone here who'll try to lend a hand and bring her home tonight
Tonight
She cries in her lonely nights, lonely nights
Where no one seems to care
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware
Lonely nights, lonely nights
No one seems to care
Lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware, you better
