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 for way too 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

The heart is a lonely hunter

When there's no sign of 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 dealing her a dangerous hand

The consequences of a one night stand but



Repeat the chorus:



>From somewhere deep inside she tells him no

Before she starts t cry she turns to go



Repeat Chorus:



(Mark D. Sanders, Kim Williams, Ed Hill)
