So Lovelorn in London Town

So Lovelorn in London Town
                                                              
From morn to friendless night
He tramps the streets
Just in case he might
Come across her he's a tragic sight
But he don't care
Love gives him might
He haunts the cafes and the discos
And the bars so lovelorn
                                                              
He knows that he won't find her
But he's got to keep on trying
It gives some meaning to his life
It gives some substance to his time
It is his motive and his project
And his plan so lovelorn
                                                              
He only met her once
But it changed his life
And it changed his type
And it changed his mind
                                                              
They say he once was
A successful man
But he threw it all up
As if he'd gone insane
And he took to the streets
And another man was born
                                                              
They say love comes but once
For some but when it does
It's like a mighty
Atom bomb inside
A disease that seizes
A gentle soul
And when it comes for him
He'd better try to hide
                                                              
From morn to friendless night
He tramps the streets
Just in case he might
Come across her he's a tragic sight
But he don't care
Love gives him might
He haunts the cafes and the discos
And the bars so lovelorn.
