(Dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah. Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)

(Dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah. Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-way-ah, Only the Lonely, Only the Lonely)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-way-ah, Only the Lonely, Only the Lonely)

Only the Lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

Only the Lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

Know the way I feel to-night (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)

Know the heartaches I've been through (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)

Only the Lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

Only the Lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

Know I cried and cried for you (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah)

There goes my baby, there goes my heart

Maybe tomorrow a new romance

They're gone forever, so far apart.

No more sorrow, but that's the chance

THIS PART ONLY IN SECOND VERSE:

You gotta take

But Only the Lonely know why I cry, Only the Lonely.

If your lonely heart breaks, Only the Lonely

OUTRO: (dum-dum-dum-dumby-do-wah).
