Put out my cigarette   And switch off the TV set   This is not the life for me   I'm going out tonight   Put on my trendy clothes   And head for where the in crowd goes   Might find true love who knows   Tonight might be the night   Will you be there? will you see me?      In the lonely crowd   I can hear you can you hear me?   Everybody's talking so loud   I want some freedom from the tedium   I've got no where to go tonight   I'm in the lonely crowd      So turn the lights down low   And play the music loud   What the hell is wrong in here?   There's nothing going on and on   Did someone cut the atmosphere with a knife?   Stare at each other wondering what's the matter   Mutter in a nervous stutter   Do you call this life?   I can see you can you see me?      In the lonely crowd   I can hear you can you hear me?   Everybody's shouting loud   Give me some freedom from the tedium.   We've got nowhere to go tonight   I'm in the lonely crowd   So turn the lights down low   And play the music loud
