Only the Lonely

(Dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)

(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely)

(Only the lonely)Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Know the way I feel tonight (ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)

Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)There goes my baby

There goes my heart

They're gone forever

So far apartBut only the lonely

Know why I cry

Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah, ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)

(Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah, only the lonely)

(Only the lonely)Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Know the heartaches I've been through (ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)

Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

Know I cry and cry for you (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)Maybe tomorrow

A new romance

No-o-o more sorrow

But that's the chance

You've got to take

If your lonely heart breaks

Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
