I've been a lonely girl
I've been a lonely girl
But I'm ready for the world
Oh, I'm ready for the world

I've been a heart for hire
I've been a heart for hire
And my love's on a funeral pyre
Oh my love's on a funeral pyre

When will you
When will you help me out
You can't even pick me out of the crowd

I've been nobody's child
I've been nobody's child
So my blood started running wild
Oh, my blood started running wild

I've been a hungry ghost
I've been a hungry ghost
And I've traveled from coast to coast
Oh, I've traveled from coast to coast

When will you
When will you help me out
You can't even pick me out of the crowd

Oh and I
I don't need you anymore
So then why am I standing at your door

I've been a lonely girl
I've been a lonely girl
But I'm ready for the world
Oh, I'm ready for the world
Well, I'm ready for the world
Oh, I'm ready for the world
Oh, I'm ready for the world
Oh, I'm ready for the world
Well, I'm ready for the world
