Intro

Verse 1

Is there really no sympathy out there on my dial,

passion with a frequency, that could make me smile?

Every one of these pop songs, I’m sure you’ve all heard,

 but tell me: when was the last time you listened to the words?

Bridge 1

 but tonight this is going outside my tolerance, because

Chorus 1

All the pop songs in the world

 are never gonna bring back that girl.

She is gone and that’s a fact:

 Not even number one is gonna bring her back.

Verse 2

Is a DJ´s favourite, just hit a man when he’s down?

 with a sting like poison, since she said goodbye.

Chorus 2

All the pop songs in the world

 are never gonna bring back that girl.

She is gone and that’s a fact:

 Not even number one

Bridge 2

 Oh I would really love to meet

 the woman, that brought that millionaire to his knees.

 that he’s really going through the same torment as me, cause

Chorus 3

All the pop songs in the world

 are never gonna bring back that girl.

She is gone and that’s a fact:

 Not even number one is gonna bring her back.
