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've gone forever so far apart
And 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 on new romance
No more sorrow but that's the chance
You've got to take if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely, only the lonely
