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, they're 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 got to take, 
If your lonely heart breaks Only the lonely, only the lonely, only the lonely
