Only the Lonely
Only the lonely
(dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight
(ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely
Know this feeling ain’t right
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They’re
gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why I cry
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches
I’ve been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe
tomorrow
A new romance
No-o-o more sorrow
But
that’s the chance
You’ve got to take
If your lonely
heart breaks
Only the lonely
