Just how much can a lonely heart stand You left me one morning My world came to an end You said you didn't love me That it was only pretend Now my lonely pillow Is just a place for tears to land Just how much can a Lonely Heart stand Now my heart is broken It seems that it will never mend These Teardrops are tokens They were all in your plan Now life has no meaning Yet no one seems to understand Just how much can a Lonely Heart stand I went out last night To see if I could live again That's when I saw you Kissing my best friend You walked right on by me And you gently held her hand Just how much can a Lonely Heart stand Just how much can a Lonely Heart stand
