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 know the heartaches I've been through.
Only the lonely know I cry, cry for you.

Maybe tomorrow,
A new romance.
No more sorrow,
But that's the chance
You've got to take,
If your lonely heart breaks.
Only the lonely.
