When I look into your tearful eyes
I don't know what to do
And though you say that I don't realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you
Yes I do
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
When I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close, it's sure to end
Oh, can't you understand?
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
We really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you
Lonely me
[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]
Lonely you, only you
Yes it will
Lonely you, only you
Lonely you
Lonely you
Lonely you
