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 know why I cry
   Only the lonely.
  
   Only the lonely know the heartaches I've been through.
   Only the lonely know I cry, cry for you.
  
   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.
