Only the lonely 
Know the way I feel tonight 
Only the lonely 
Know this feelin' 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 cried and cried for you 

Maybe tomorrow 
A new romance 
No more sorrow 
But that's the chance - you gotta take 
If your lonely heart breaks 
Only the lonely
