Sometimes I'm sad and I don't know why   I sit under the stars and I almost cry   And at times like these you know I'm lonely and I wanna die   When your looking for a cigarette to ease your pain   And your life's a drag, and you work in vain   Burn down your office, and walk out into the rain      Life is short, you gotta look around   Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up   With dead-eyed kids, and a life of hell   Stick with me, and we'll feel swell      Lonely hearts company   Selling shares of sympathy   Lonely hearts company   Share with me your misery      Well I don't like to smoke, cuz it sinks your cash   And I don't roll notes, cuz it ain't that flash   But at times like this you know I feel like getting trashed   Yet the thing about you is that you see me through   And I can sit around and just talk to you   This world is such a cynical place, people can be so cruel      Life is short, you gotta look around   Pretty soon, you'll be all grown up   With dead-eyed kids, and a life of hell   Stick with me, and we'll feel swell      Lonely hearts company   Selling shares of sympathy   Lonely hearts company   Share with me your misery      Lonely hearts company   Selling shares of sympathy   Lonely hearts company   Share with me your misery
