[Verse 1]
She was the loneliest girl in the world
And of that she was sure
No one had ever been so unaffectionate
Ever before
Holy irreverent, wholly irrelevant
That's only a knock at the door
Cause she was the loneliest girl in the world

[Chorus]
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
In the world

[Verse 2]
She would go walkin' at night
By the light of a silvery moon
She would a'whistle a line, keeping time
With the click of her boots
Heard it myself at a quarter to twelve
Oh, what a sad little tune
She must be the loneliest girl in the world

[Chorus]
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
In the world
[Bridge]
Now every night, honey
I keep the window a little ajar
In case she comes by again
Whistling high, and then I, from afar-
Shout "Woman I hear your song
Know where you're coming from
Please let me know who you are"
You must be the loneliest girl In the world

[Chorus]
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
The loneliest girl
In the world
