Needed you, you were only using
Needing you just tore me down
And here I stand in isolation
feeling emptiness and doubt
walking down the broken highway

sucking sugar plain and sweet
did your mother ever tell you
that the joyful are free

I need some lovin´
like an inmate needs a dime
I need some lovin´
like a poet needs a rhyme
here i stand in isolation
my empty hands in isolation
walking down the broken highway
sucking sugar cause it´s my way

find me one heart to complete with
heading for the farthest reaches
I need some lovin´
like a body needs a soul
I need some lovin´

like a fastball needs control
here i stand in isolation
my empty hands in isolation
strike up the band
in this proud land

got a lot to do
got a lot to say
got a life to live
here I stand-
in isolation
