Intro verse 1 He never said he loved her, and she never said she cared Now he's out on a 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 verse 2 She changed her name to Venus, he got a job in Spain And she lives alone in Dunbar, with a cat that has no name Once he thought 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 She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own He's been waiting for a reason to head for home 'Cause it's no fun with no one It's no fun, being alone verse 3 He never said he loved her, and she never said she cared So they've lived alone and never known, 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 She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own He's been waiting for a reason to head for home 'Cause it's no fun with no one It's no fun, being alone
