Theres a lonely man thinkin about a long lost love
The gleam in a young girls eye
The content of a man just in from the cold
With a pretty young thing by his side
But he threw it away like a lifetime wasted
Still learnin what he ought to know
Once a fresh young buck now hes down on his luck
And the miles are startin to show
Chorus:
So if youre looking for a little affection
Dont go waiting for the timing to be right
The trouble with romance is taking your chances
In the desperation of a downtown night
Theres a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder
Feeling that times runnin out
The dismay of a woman who never saw it coming
Never knew what it was about
The confusion of a girl who watched as her whole world
Completely unraveled at the seams
Once the toast of the town now it all comes down
To findin the man of her dreams
Chorus
Bridge:
And when the lights go down and youre all alone
You think youll never find love but you dont wanna go home
But if youre looking for a little affection
Dont go waiting for the timing to be right
The trouble with romance is taking your chances
In the desperation of a downtown night
Theres a lonely man thinkin about a long lost love
The gleam in a young girls eye
The content of a man just in from the cold
With a pretty young thing by his side
But he threw it away like a lifetime wasted
Still learnin what he ought to know
Once a fresh young buck now hes down on his luck
And the miles are startin to show
Chorus:
So if youre looking for a little affection
Dont go waiting for the timing to be right
The trouble with romance is taking your chances
In the desperation of a downtown night
Theres a lonely girl sitting with a chip on her shoulder
Feeling that times runnin out
The dismay of a woman who never saw it coming
Never knew what it was about
The confusion of a girl who watched as her whole world
Completely unraveled at the seams
Once the toast of the town now it all comes down
To findin the man of her dreams
Chorus
Bridge:
And when the lights go down and youre all alone
You think youll never find love but you dont wanna go home
But if youre looking for a little affection
Dont go waiting for the timing to be right
