Dum dum dum dum dee-du wah 
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah 
Oh woh woh woh-o oh-wah 
Only the lonely, only the lonely 

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 
You know why I cry 
Only the lonely 

Dum dum dum dum dee-du wah 
Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah 
Oh woh woh woh-o oh-wah 
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 
Maybe tomorrow a new romance 
No more sorrow but that's the chance 
You've got to take 
If you're lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
