She came in lookin' good and lookin' around

She's checkin' out every man in the room right now

Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong

She's been alone way to long



Chorus:

The heart is a lonely hunter

With only one desire

To find some lastin' comfort

In the arms of a lover's fire

Driven by a desperate hunger

To the dark of the neon light

Oh the heart is a lonely hunter

When there's no sign of a love in sight



She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"

And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring

She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand

The consequences of a one night stand



(Repeat chorus)



From somewhere deep inside she tells him no

Before she starts to cry she turns to go



(Repeat chorus
