Lonely in Tokyo, neon can't light the road
Reach out in need of hope with nowhere to go
Lonely in Tokyo, black suits gon' pay for love
They never give enough, there's no place like home
When I see five bucks on the table
I know my mom's out wasted, so unstable
When I go to the 24-hour store (store)
Everything taste so plastic (plastic) I don't wanna eat no more
Beep, beep, beep - there goes my phone
How much to be alone?
What do I do? Where do I go? (Where do I go?)
One more drink I'm right back home
One little dinner won't crush my soul
Dior bag, how can I say no? (How can I say no?)
We are lonely in Tokyo, (Tokyo) neon can't light the road (light the road)
Reach out in need of hope with nowhere to go
Lonely in Tokyo, black suits gon' pay for love (pay for love)
They never give enough, there's no place like home
So, I dance, (dance) lip syncing on the stage
Sing the lyrics they made, trapped in a golden cage
And I pose
Half-naked on the cover (cover)
Photoshopped like no other (other)
I'm loved but I got no lover (lover)
Beep, beep, beep - there goes my phone
Why won't they leave me alone?
What did I do? Where did I go? (Where did I go?)
Dress me up just like a doll
But they don't know me at all
It's time to stand up and say no
We are lonely in Tokyo, neon can't light the road
Reach out in need of hope with nowhere to go
Lonely in Tokyo (Tokyo), black suits gon' pay for love (pay for love)
They never give enough, there's no place like home
Money can't sove my problems (problems)
Money don't make no change (make no change)
Buy my CD just to hold my hand
But they don't even know my name
They never let me complain (complain)
Just my body on the brain (brain)
I don't need nice things, shoes and rings
To be myself and do my thing
We are lonely in Tokyo, neon can't light the road
Reach out in need of hope with nowhere to go
We are lonely in Tokyo, (Tokyo) black suits gon' pay for love (pay for love)
They never give enough, there's no place like home
