Only the lonely, know the way I feel tonight
Only the lonely, know this feeling ain't right

There goes my baby, there goes my heart,
they're gone forever, they're so far apart
But only the lonely, know why I cry Only the lonely, only the lonely

Only the lonely, know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely, know I've cried and cried for you

Maybe tomorrow, a new romance,
no more sorrow, but that's the chance
You got to take,
If your lonely heart breaks Only the lonely, only the lonely, only the lonely
