what is romance?
without the one you love
its heartbreak and misery
without the one you love
you fool yourself and say
that i'll forget him
and knowing all the time that its not so
you play the lonely roll of polyarchy
crying on the inside and hurting that much more

life can seem so cruel
without that one you love
you're like a dying rose in summer
without the one you love
one telephone call
one line, one line or so
could mean a world of difference
how much you'll never know
but life can seem so lonely, so lonely
without the one you love

oh
one telephone, one telephone call
one line, write me one line or so
could mean a world of difference
just how much you'll never, you'll never know

but life can seem so lonely
without the one you love

lonely without the one you love...
