Lyrics

Earth is the loneliest planet of all

Earth is the loneliest planet of all

Day after day you say: “One day...one day” Day after day you say: “One day...one day” But you’re in the wrong place And you’ve got the wrong face And humans are not really very humane And Earth is the loneliest planet of all

Earth is the loneliest planet of all Live with a lowness that no one else knows Time after time you say: “Next time...next time” Time after time you say: “Next time...next time” But you fail as a woman and you lose as a man We do what we can And Earth is the cruelest place you will never understand

But you're in the wrong skin And the skin that you're in says: "Oh, let it begin..." And Earth is the loneliest planet of all

Earth is the loneliest planet of all Earth is the loneliest planet of all

Day after day you say: “One day...one day” Day after day you say: “One day...one day” And there's always a reason why you're refused They always blame "you, you, you" And there is nothing anyone can do
