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
