He never said he loved her
And she never said she cared
Now he's out on a ship somewhere
And she's still running scared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they're both out somewhere looking for
The love that got away

She changed her name to Venus
He got a job in Spain
She lives alone in Dunbar
With a cat that has no name
Once he thought he saw her
In a Spanish cabaret
But it was just another stand-in for
The love that got away

And it's no fun being alone
She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
'Cause it's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone

He never said he loved her
And she never said she cared
So they've lived alone and never known
The life they might have shared
She never thought to ask him
And he never thought to say
Now they'd gladly trade their freedom for
The love that got away

Cause it's no fun being alone
And she'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
It's no fun with no one
It's no fun being alone
