Under the spotlight, The neon kiss
Carnival barkers preen & twist
Three for a quarter, 2 for a dime
Broken Hearts General Store--Open all the time

Chorus:
I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you

Tennis shoes strung across a telephone wire
The sun sneaks up on my empire
Tent for your castle with a bubblegum crown
Me & my minions make the rounds

I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you

Bridge:
I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you
I draw a deep breath, The day is new
I'm brave, I'm a hero, The world's bright & clear
But my insides shrivel when you're not here

Newspaper pile on my front porch
The sun is winding up, its starting to scorch
The air is dust & lungs are hot
I keep making love to what is not

I'm lonely without you
Just like one left shoe
I'm lonely without you
