(Dum-dum-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-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know this feeling aint right (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
There goes my baby, there goes my heart
Theyre gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know wh-y-y I cry--only the lonely
(Dum-dum-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-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know the heartaches Ive been through (Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Only the lonely (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Know I cry and cry for you (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
Maybe tomorrow a new romance
No-o-o more sorrow, but thats the chance
Youve got to ta-a-a-ake, if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely (Dum-dum-dummy doo-wah)
