She came in looking good and looking around.She's checking out every man in the room right now.Don't go telling her about right or wrong.She's been alone for way too long.Will the heart is a lonely hunter.With only one desire.To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lovers fire.Driven by a desperate hunger.To the dark of the neon light.The heart is a lonely hunter.When there's no sign of a love in sight.She hears him say, hey, can I buy you a drink.And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring.She knows she's dealing her a dangerous hand.The consequences of a one night stand.But the heart is a lonely hunter.With only one desire.To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lovers fire.Driven by a desperate hunger.To the dark of the neon light.The heart is a lonely hunter.When there's no sign of a love in sight.Somewhere deep inside, she tells him no.Before she stops to cyr, she turns to go.Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter.With only one desire.To find some lasting comfort in the arms of a lovers fire.Driven by a desperate hunger.To the dark of the neon light.The heart is a lonely hunter.When there's no sign of a love in sight.Oh, the heart is a lonely hunter.When there's no sign of a love in sight.
