[Intro]
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely

[Verse 1]
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

[Pre-Chorus]
And there goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

[Chorus]
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely

[Post-Chorus]
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
[Verse 2]
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I've been through (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance

[Outro]
You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
(Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
