        (Dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah
        Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
        Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
        Only the lonely
        Only the lonely)
 

        Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
        Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
        Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
        Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
 

        There goes my baby
        There goes my heart
        They're gone forever
        So far apart
 

        But 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 cried and cried for you

        Maybe tomorrow
        A new romance
        No more sorrow
        But that's the chance
 

        You gotta take
        Is your lonely heart breaks
        Only the lonely
 

        Dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah
