David Scobie – No Fun Being Alone (1981)

He never said he loved her
She never said she cared
He’s out on the ship somewhere
And she’s still running scared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they’re both out somewhere looking for
The love that got away
She changed her name to Venus
He got a job in Spain
And she’s living alone in Denver
With a cat that has no name
And once he though he saw her
In a Spanish Cabaret
But it was just another stand-in for
The love that got away
And it’s no fun being alone
And she’d sell her soul for someone to call her own
He’s been waiting for a reason to head for home
And it’s no fun, with no one
It’s no fun being alone
He never Said he loved her
And she never said she cared
So they lived alone and never knew the life they might have shared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they’d gladly trade their freedom for the love that got away
And it’s no fun being alone
And she’d sell her soul for someone to call her own
He’s been waiting for a reason to head for home
And it’s no fun, with no one
It’s no fun being alone
