Lyrics
Don't it hurt so bad
When you're standin' in the sun
In the bottom of your heart
You don't love no one

You can be oh so mean
I just can't see, no in between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out

What a way to live
Back of your class
End of the line
Always last

You can be oh so mean

I just can't see, no in between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out

See the moon
See the stars
From your lonely seat
In your lonely cars

You can be oh so mean
I just can't see, no in between
You know what the sun's all about
When the lights go out
