Key of F:
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
Know this feelin’ ain’t right (dum-dum-dum-dumby-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 [repeat intro]
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
Know the heartaches I’ve been through (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely, (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
know I cried and cried for you (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
Maybe tomorrow, a new romance
No more sorrow, but that’s the chance
You gotta take, if your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumby-doo-wah)
