Lonely women in search of love
He's just the one to give them
Everything they're dreamin' of
Words flow from his lips like honey
He's the master of let's pretend
Fills her lonely nights with dreams
Then breaks them all over again
He's a lonely-hearts lover

Makin' promises that he won't keep.
He never plays by the rules

Deception is his game
He's a lonely-hearts lover
He paints a picture of lastin' love
Never once does he lose his cool
He plays their bodies like a violin
As he plays them for a fool.

Skilled in the art of deceit
He's a lonely-hearts lover
Makin' promises that he won't keep.
