Story Behind The Song

Comes from feeling flirty and noticing the little insecurities amid the singles' scene

Song Description

Perfect pop song for the girl's trio from "Little Shop of Horrors" to sashay through the chorus singing "Do-doo's" while posing the question, "Don't you look lonely? Or maybe I'm lonely and you look good?"

Lyrics

Don't You Look Lonely

She looks in the mirror
She looks a fright
Puts on some make-up
For a Saturday night
Another week-end
Anxiety creeps in
Speeds to the local
Steps out of the car
Heads begin turnin'
As she sashays to the bar
Ah, the relief
Keeps nobody waitin'
Across from the dance floor
His eyes take her home
Better than spendin'
The weekend alone
Hey there
Don't you look lonely
Well maybe I'm lonely
And you look good
Could be that I misread
That look on your face
Can you forgive me
If I intrude
On your moment of solitude
He leaves his apartment
Dashes for the gym
Jogging as if his
Body were him
Married with children
Don't keep him from dreamin'
After the work-out
He heads for the steam
She's there beside him
Talkin' weight machines
Line 'round his finger
Don't need to be mentioned
As the room clouds over
Adventure begins
She's good at shiatsu
She'll do some on him
Hey there
Don't you look lonely
Or maybe I'm lonely
And you look good
Could be that I misread
That look on your face
Won't you forgive me
If I intrude
No need to show gratitude
They meet on the bench in
The park every night
Kisses are French
Under flickering light
Almost engaged, yet
Still lost in wonder
They rise to their feet
And take back what they've said
Better than spendin'
A lifetime unwed
Hey there
Don't you look lonely
Or maybe I'm lonely
And you look good
Could be that I misread
That look on your face
Won't you forgive me
While I intrude
Excuse me if I seem rude
(Fade)
Hey there
How 'bout that look on your face
Or maybe I'm looking....
