(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
(Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oow, ah-ah)
(Only the lonely)
(Only the lonely)

Only the lonely
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
Know the way I feel tonight
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
Only the lonely
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
Know this feeling ain't right
(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They've gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why I cry
Only the lonely

(Dum, dum, dum, dumdy-do, ah)
(Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah-yaa)
(Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa-oow, ah-ah)
(Only the lonely)
(Only the lonely)

Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely know I cry and cry for you
May be tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance
You've gotta take
If you're lonely heartbreak
Only the lonely
