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
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've gotta take

If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
