The Loneliest Creature In The World Lyrics

She had a mother, she had a father

A husband who loved her and a fine little daughter

But sometimes at night, she'd wake up and cry

I'm the loneliest creature in the world

What makes her so lonely, she couldn't say

She wonders if everyone feels it this way

Searching the faces on the streetcar

They're the loneliest creatures in the world

In Bleeker street ghetto she knocks on a door

The woman there answers, she's been here before

She comes on Tuesdays eleven to two

For conversation and homemade Arabian stew

Sila was married when she was sixteen

To a friend of her father's, she'd never seen

Forty years later, she's learning to read

In a country far across the sea

I got nothing to give her, nothing to say

To bring back the years they took away

But she tells me she's glad that I came

The loneliest creature in the world

We're the loneliest creatures in the world

But I got a mother, I got a father

A husband who loves me and a fine little daughter
