dear miss lonely hearts
lynott, phil
i had to write this letter
to tell you how i came to meet her
she was sweet but i dated her sister
that's how i made my mistake
till a friend of mine suggested
that i write to this address
so unless you can find a cure
it seems from your letter that you lied
to take her sister by your side
at your total lack of tactfulness
to such thoughts of silliness
you're the only one i know that can solve them
i love a girl but i'm dating her sister
and if i persist in my pursuit i will kiss her
i doubt if this reply will bring much joy
but you must not trust this boy
you must not lust this boy
looking for a lonely girl
i've got problems you can solve them
i'm writing to dear miss lonely hearts
