No telephone will ring for you
No friends will call around
No presents for the birthday girl
Or flowers will be found

In splendid isolation
You drift from day to day
I gave you everything I could
You've thrown it all away
[chorus]:
And all she wants is everything
But everything's not good enough
The whole wide world just would not do
Then how can I be good enough for you?
So now you've changed your mind
And hope that I will too
The world is moving forward
But you're further from the truth
God knows it's all so simple
Did I rob you of your pride?
'Cause finger after finger
She has torn you from my side
(chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)
