What do the lonely do
How do they ever make it through
Somebody better tell me
'Cause I can tell I'm losing you
What do the lonely do
How do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too
So what do the lonely do

Now do they go to parties
Pretend to have a good time
Are they the ones who leave early
So no one sees them crying
Or do they go for long walks
Underneath the moonlight
Wishing they had someone
Someone to hold them tight

What do the lonely do
How do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too
So what do the lonely do

Are they always watching
When other lovers pass 'em by
And are they always hoping
They're gonna get another try
Or do they just remember
And dream of yesterday
Of the one who left them lonely
The one who got away

What do the lonely do
How do they ever make it through
Somebody better tell me
'Cause I can tell I'm losing you
What do the lonely do
How do they ever make it through
Looks like I'll be lonely too
So what do the lonely do
