(1960)
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Oh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh, ohoh ohoh ooh-ah-ah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know the way I feel tonight
Oh 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
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
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Oh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh, ohoh ohoh ooh-ah-ah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know the heartaches I’ve been through
Oh 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
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
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
