All of my life I've been searching
Looking for someone to hold
Give love and you're sure to get it
That's what I've always been told

I loved some girls in my lifetime
There were a few who loved me
Although it seemed like the right time then
It never happened to be

So why am I so lonely?
And where did I go wrong?
Did love just pass me by along the way?
I have no one and only
That's why I'm lonely
Cause love never came here to stay, no, no
Love never came here to stay

I thought one day love would find me
Thought it would rise like the sun
I see the sun slowly setting
Seems like my day's nearly done

If I could live my life over
I'd try to give something more
Maybe then things would go differently
Love would appear at my door

So why am I so lonely?
And where did I go wrong?
Did love just pass me by along the way?
I have no one and only
That's why I'm lonely
Cause love never came here to stay, no, no
Love never came here to stay
