The Lonely Guy lyrics:

There's one lonely girl
Saturday night, nothing to do

And there's one lonely guy

All by himself at a table for two
And it's sad, because one lonely guy

Might change the world for one lonely girl

And life would be so sweet
If only she could meet

One lonely guy
(One lonely, one lonely, one lonely guy)

In a world like today

So many times, even lovers are strangers

They pass, but look away

Keeping their hearts far out of danger
And it's sad, because one lonely guy

Might change the world for one lonely girl

And life would be complete
If only she could meet

One lonely guy

About the movie:

The Lonely Guy is a 1984 Steve Martin romantic comedy film, written by Neil Simon and directed by Arthur Hiller.

Based on the book "The Lonely Guy's Book of Life" by Bruce Jay Friedman, Martin portrays Larry Hubbard, a greeting card writer who goes through a period of terrible luck with women. At the pit of his despair, Hubbard writes a book titled A Guide for the Lonely Guy, which is rampantly successful and catapults him into an entirely different experience of life.

The film also stars Charles Grodin, Judith Ivey and Steve Lawrence and features cameo appearances from Merv Griffin, Dr. Joyce Brothers, and Loni Anderson. One of the theme songs of the movie, "Love Comes Without Warning", was performed by America.
