Now, let me teach you the ways of the world
Anything, everything can be bought
Just scraps of paper exchanged, put away
And you’ll have anything you could want!

I see that girl everywhere, every time
She’s just smiling and laughing along
And when it comes down to me, well you see
I could grin maybe once, and it’s gone

But there’s really no need
For friends, I tend to manage just fine
But for some reason, even I
I just might feel lonely sometimes

I know where to start, how much for your heart?
What do you mean? Don’t tell me I can’t buy that!
Love is what it’s called, how much for it all?
Not a lot, it’s cheap so give me your hand and

Oh goodnight
I can feel it deep in my veins
Oh goodnight
But there’s nothing to feel the pain
Goodnight tonight

I took a look at the hand I reached out
Not a touch, not a trace there to find
As all my feelings, died out, disappeared
And now, I'm the only one left behind

I sat and waited and stared at the screen
Of a phone that has never lit up
And all the while the noise on TV
Keeps repeating something on and on!

And when I shut my mouth, I
Feel the silence ring in my head
But as it echoes through my chest
Well, I guess it hurt just a bit

Shouting through the dark, how much for your heart?
Fill the hole right through my soul with affection!
Show me who you are! Take me in your arms!
Stir my blood and give me love right this instant!

Oh goodnight
Just another night all alone
Oh goodnight
I would never cry, you know
Goodnight tonight

I don’t need anybody
Really, I'm just fine by myself
But if I'm being honest, this
Feels a bit

Begging from the start, how much for your heart?
What do you mean? Don’t tell me I can’t buy that!
Love is what it’s called, how much for it all?
Not a lot, it’s cheap so give me your hand and

Screaming through the dark, how much for your heart?
Bury all these holes in my soul with passion!
Everything you are, I’ll take it in my arms
Fill my blood with all your love, your affection!

Oh goodnight!
Secrets I have no one to tell
Oh goodnight!
I don’t cry, get over yourself!
Goodnight tonight!

A person’s heart? It could never be bought
Who you love, it just isn’t a choice
And all the while, the show on TV
Keeps repeating some meaningless noise
