I brace myself for caller number 10
Such a mess, where do I begin?
On the phone, someone so alone
Desperate soul hoping for a miracle
I consult and do my best with every call
Let me in, I wanna be your friend
Let me in, and maybe I will understand
Open up, together we take on the world and when
So let me in, 'cos I'm alone as well, can't you tell?
Today's the day I face my greatest fear
I've been voted 'Employee of the Year'
So alone, bored to work the phone
Radio on, playing that song, a miracle
I would travel too, if I had a friend like you
Let me in, I wanna be your friend
So let me in, and maybe I will understand
Open up, together we take on the world and when
So let me in, 'cos I'm alone as well, can't you tell?
The ways to make new friends ain't what it used to be
You can reach me at 1-800-LONELY
I thought? wants a documentary
The story of my life upon that silver screen
