What's it like to be loved
It's a worn out faded picture
Showing you the secrets of your youth
Did you feel
Was it real
It's a game that's made for children
Win or lose you pay your dues tomorrow
Love and life is happiness and sorrow

I waited so long just to be alone
Tonight we're gonna make it
Really gonna break it
Sweet sweet lover gonna bring it home
Tonight we're gonna make it

Good old american child
American lady
Good old american child
I've been around every single town - london to tokyo
I've seen the world from inside out
And what i want to know
Whare did all those good times go
Where can we play our rock 'n' roll
I am going home again
Stateside is where i'm bound

Good old american child

Now I'm done playing with fools
And I've paid all my childhood dues
I find the mountain much steeper to climb
Am I just one of the crowd?
I decided a few days ago
There's no room. Room for me in this show
I changed my make-up completely this time
Now I'm not one...one of the crowd

So good-bye. Good-bye blind eyes
I'm gonna find me a cat's eye
Good-bye. Good-bye blind eyes

And when you see her you fell the pain
It won't hurt you half as much as I do
You know I do
She'll take your money, and make you pay
It won't cost you half as much as I do
You know I do
Buyer buyer
Your twisted soul
Liar liar
Can't resist keeping you whole
Flyer flyer
You think you're so high
Try 'er try 'er
You'll find out she's telling you lies
But not half as much as me

Well since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street - Heartbreak Hotel
You leave me so lonely baby
You leave me so lonely
You leave me so lonely I could die
I could die
Are you lonely
Like I'm lonely

The joint's always crowded, but still they find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom
You leave me so lonely baby

It won't be long now until that old sun goes down
And up those stairs I hide my shameful tears
'Cos I work all night long
For a man who's half way gone
I'm the barmaid in the honky tonk downstairs
And it's a shame
I wear the name
Of a man who's now been chained
To a bottle that destroys all hopes and cares
To a man with lonely eyes
I work and hide my pride

Five pound job she gets bubblegum on her knees
Down between the seats sometimes she'll pass you her key
